First Rebellion is the only runner with winning form but has failed to figure since scoring at Chepstow in August. Chateau Lola ran her best race to date when second over 5f at Wolverhampton last time with My Name Is Sam back in third. She should be thereabouts but another recent runner-up in MARIE'S FANTASY makes more appeal. She had Flying Kitty, George Fenton and First Rebellion behind over C&D a fortnight ago and that form also gives her the beating of Gone By Sunrise. J J Leary drops back to sprinting and could prove best of the rest.
