PARTY REBEL went close back in maiden company at Carlisle and should have the measure of River Chorus. The latter will be sharper for a recent outing on the all-weather while Hostelry placed in a handicap at Doncaster last time and can also figure back at this level. Sense Of Humour is fitted with a tongue-tie having struggled in testing ground earlier in the month and is preferred to Maahi Ve and Forgotten Realm.
