EIGER SANCTION and FLAMBOYANT FLYER are unbeaten over this distance but are currently out of sorts. AMERICAN REBEL, on the other hand, was an authoritative winner over this trip last time and the step up in class under a 5-point penalty isn't likely to prevent another bold bid. Hard-knockers ARLINGTON ACTION and TO THE RESCUE have the form and experience at this level to trouble the selection. Class-dropper PANNING GOLD isn't taken lightly either.
