REBEL HUNTER has had some decent runs in points and although Danimix doesn't have the most fantastic pedigree has shown bits and pieces over the hurdles but the main danger may come from Our Guardian Angel. She has experience over this sort of trip and although the Tim Vaughan mare has yet to score from six starts may seriously challenge in this affair. Danimix has the assistance of the champion here and although quite a way behind Hilfiger on last appearance at Stratford there should be more to come from him. Rebel Hunter comes here off the back of a three length win in an Irish points race. He makes his debut under rules and if showing the sort of effort that he showed last month, he could be the one to be on. Improved efforts can be expected from Klampenborg and Benedict Spirit, but our pick in this race is Rebel Hunter.
