Unknown Rebel looks the best of those with hurdling experience judged on his recent fourth at Haydock and he makes more appeal than Next Edition, who didn't jump very well on his debut in the same race and was well beaten. KAZLIAN is a winner on the Flat in France and has been placed in Listed company. He can open his account over hurdles at the first time of asking for the Pipe yard. The remainder of the debutants are a modest bunch on the level with Brighton winner Songsmith perhaps the best of them.
