Several of these won their penultimate starts and The Rutland Rebel ran well again for second at Perth last time. The Questioner was having his first outing since March when only fifth at Uttoxeter with Robeam well below par in the same race while Stripe Of Honour was well beaten at Worcester in July. But BARELY FAMOUS finally showed improvement for a tumble down the weights when second at Fontwell on her debut for Ryan Potter’s yard and looks worth another chance off her current mark.
