Accidental Rebel had only three rivals when making his debut for Fergal O’Brien at Ludlow. LEYLAK easily beat Carn A Chlamain at Warwick and can confirm that form, despite worse terms, and complete the double here though Newton Abbot maiden winner Gaulois is a danger and Duke Of Luckley’s impressive victory at Southwell was probably deserving of a 9lb rise. Orchard Grove won twice here last season but is unproven beyond 2m.
