Rebel Tribesman
SPECULATIVE Advised 6/4 Est. 38%
Mr Fox says
Rebel Tribesman (SR 127, 6/4) is the clear class-leader in this field — his SR of 127 sits 6-7 points clear of the next-best and he carries only 11-0, the joint-lowest weight alongside Medieval Gold. His recent form 2-1213 shows consistent competitiveness including two wins and a place from his last four starts, and crucially GoingFit:+ confirms he handles today's Good ground well. Jamie Snowden's yard operates at a 26% career strike rate, the best of any trainer in this field, and Jonathan Burke at 15% is a strong booking — the combination of top-rated horse, lightest weight, proven going preference, and a powerful stable makes this a well-supported case even at a short price. Each-way alternative: Imperial Merlin. Main danger: Medieval Gold — Medieval Gold (SR 120, 3/1) has steamed 14% in the market with Brian Hughes booked — the most significant market move in the race — and while GoingFit:- is a concern, a 6-year-old dropping a class with an in-form partnership could outrun his rating if the going has dried sufficiently from the forecast.
