This is a very low-key opener in which the market will probably be the best guide. Presenting Rebel was due to run yesterday at Hexham but would have a chance if turning up here instead. JONNY EAGER started favourite for an Ayr bumper in October but dropped away tamely off the home turn. A winning pointer, he's surely better than that and gets another chance. Toola Boola wasn't entirely disgraced at Wetherby last month and should make the frame while Amour Collonges could figure if fully wound-up.
