REBELLIOUS GUEST is already prominent in the betting for next month's Lincoln at Doncaster and will no doubt come in for further support if winning this. He's up another 6lb after landing a double over track and trip and has already beaten Mia's Boy and Royal Prize. Spa's Dancer is also in the Lincoln but should improve for this first outing since June while a three-month absence may also count against Consign. Birdman beat Luhaif and George Guru when winning a similar event here last month and faced a tough task in a conditions race last time. He can figure along with the returning Talented Kid, but Tellovoi landed last month's hat-trick in lesser company and will find this a lot tougher.
