Leading amateurs partner Rainbow Rebel and Time To Blossom in this and Serena Brotherton won at Redcar on the latter back in August. But the former has the more recent form with a placed effort at Lingfield and is preferred under Simon Walker. But ELTEZAM also went close at Lingfield last week when beaten only a neck and with today’s rider taking 7lb off his back, he gets the nod to go one better. Elysian Prince has been hurdling but won at Lingfield at this time last year while Every Chance was placed in plating races earlier.
