RACE SUMMARY:

This looks wide open and with that in mind it could be worth siding with a handicap debutante in the shape of REBEL ROXY. She showed ability in bumpers/over hurdles during the second half of last year and it would come as no surprise to see improvement forthcoming on return for her in-form yard. Malina Ocarina and Call The Fairies are others to consider.
