Getting a stone from Dear Sire, the mare REBEL YEATS is taken to score for the second time in just three outings over hurdles. She ran well in defeat over a trip too far last time and back to two miles should prove hard to stop. Dear Sire can make a proper race of it and is definitely respected, but it won't be easy under his double penalty. Of the rest, Wells Gold may do OK under rules, while you couldn't completely rule out some improvement on hurdles bow from Flying Verse.
