Rebel Territory bids to repeat last year’s success, when Ropey Guest finished back in fifth, but is 7lb higher. Revich has a shout on a close-up third at Ayr when partnered by Danny Tudhope but the latter switches to GHALY. Saeed bin Suroor’s charge missed the whole of last year but returned to winning ways at York in July and may have got off lightly raised only a pound given the runner-up subsequently won a valuable handicap. King Of Conquest is another Godolphin runner but hasn’t raced since February and makes his handicap debut while Lawful Command looks high enough in the weights.
