Chimes Of Dylan may improve now handicapping for the first time while Atalanta's Gold won a lower grade contest at Towcester last month but has been beaten since. Monday Club is getting closer but REBEL YEATS finished a creditable fifth in a Class 3 hurdle at Warwick last time and Ian Williams’ charge gets the nod back at this level having won under today’s conditional last year.
