Brockholes has won a couple of Class 4 handicaps at Catterick by narrow margins and, with a 4lb rise to contend with, will find this tougher, as she did at York on Saturday. Rebel Assault was the surprise winner of a Listed contest at York in October and shot up the weights. There were signs of a comeback in a much better race than this at Chelmsford last time and she should make a bold bid to concede weight all round. BAMBINO LOLA ran a superb race when a close third in a lucrative Class 2 handicap at York a couple of weeks ago having run well at Goodwood earlier and looks the one to beat. Silver Starlight has been finding the ground a bit lively and the remainder look up against it
