Music Note has solid claims on the form shown over seven furlongs at Southwell two starts ago and should not mind the return to turf or the step up to a mile so he has to be respected but it is hard to get away from the in-form Rebellious Spirit, who gets the vote with Superior Star rated the pick of the remainder. The selection has been in fine form on the Polytrack of late, winning his last three starts, and he looks well treated for his return to the turf. Waterline Twenty, a claiming winner at Kempton in January, has disappointed in two starts since then but has claims of his current mark. Under Fire has been running well on the Polytrack of late but could probably do with some help from the handicapper and of more interest may be Superior Star, who should improve for his recent reappearance. Rebellious Spirit has solid claims on recent form though and he gets the vote.
