REBEL COWGIRL impressed with the way she travelled when second on her Down Royal handicap debut last month and can build on that promise and go one better now. Second choice is Coillte Aris who shaped as if this return to further would suit when fourth on her 2m course handicap debut and it's interesting that Paul Townend retains the ride. Shana Cloon and Gold Haven were second and third in the same race at Cork last month and should also have a say.
