Elusive Rebeldom hasn't run since landing a Punchestown maiden last February but his yard remains in good form. FLINDT (NAP) was attempting to concede the winner 13lb when narrowly beaten at Punchestown last month having earlier beaten Kilkeaskins First at Fairyhouse. He's better off with the latter, who has been chasing without much luck, and also holds Dollar Value on his latest run. Falak completed a Dundalk double before finding 2m4f in a strong handicap at Punchestown too much for him but Royal Rhythm has yet to win in seven starts, all on testing ground.
