This bunch have not managed a single win between them so far this year. But that has to change today and the token vote goes to HAB REEH. He finished third over track and trip last time with Ciaras Cookie not far behind. Pull The Pin has not won since 2013 but was second to Sir Geoffrey the last time he raced over course and distance in January while Amenable scored twice here last year but has been back on a winning mark for some time now without threatening. First Rebellion has had 40 starts on the all-weather, winning three, but none of them on this surface.
