REBEL WITH A CAUSE (1) resumed over 1106m in Listed grade at Monmouth Park Turf (Turf) last start and was too good for his rivals, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Was a winner at the only previous second-up run and will be a tough nut to crack again. VIRTUOSITY (4) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 1106m at Laurel Turf (Turf), finishing third and beaten one length. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. CROSSINGTHECHANNEL (2) is back from a three months spell and he does run well first-up, including a win over 1106m at COLONIAL DOWNS at the start of last prep. One of the genuine hopes in the race. FIRMANTOWN (6) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when half a length away in second over 1106m at Laurel Turf (Turf). Well placed to figure prominently again.
