Only five runners in this but it's an interesting little contest. Tarvini goes well for an inexperienced rider but has finished tailed off in four runs since taking second spot at Exeter last November. Halley came over from France with a big reputation but has proved most disappointing and this looks a big ask for the maiden The Rebel Panther. MAISON DE VILLE looked one to follow when scoring here and at Sedgefield earlier in the year. He can see off the challenge of recent course and distance winner Master Of The Hall, despite returning from a break.
