Rebelsontherun⁶⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: C T Keane| T: M O'Callaghan

7/2

Twice-raced gelding. 50/1 and blinkered for 1st time, improved on debut form when fifth of 11 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, soft) 67 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. This rates more suitable and booking of Keane rates a plus.

6/4

Lightly-raced colt. Very good second of 14 in maiden (14/1) at this course (1m) 33 days ago, every chance approaching final 1f and not quicken. Solid claims with a repeat returned to 7f.

Forecasts

Cuban Confusion (6/4), Rebelsontherun (7/2), Ciao For Now (11/2), Gesture (7/1), Indian Alliance (8/1), Miss Alaska (12/1), Exceeding (16/1), Bruce Lightning (33/1), Seti (40/1), Twotwo And Two (40/1), Alex Belardo (66/1), Solar Falcon (150/1)

Having shown plenty to work on when second on debut at Leopardstown in August, CIAO FOR NOW ran to a similar level despite seemingly finding the drop in trip against her at Navan a month later. The type to do better stepping back up in trip, she gets the nod back from a break. Cuban Confusion and Gesture head up the dangers, whilst Indian Alliance is a newcomer to note.
