Happy 70th Birthday Helen Handicap Hurdle Race

Rebel Tribesman holds a narrow edge over his rivals on ratings and lines up in fair order for this Class 4 staying test over twenty-two furlongs at Stratford on good-to-firm ground, though the confidence behind the selection is modest and this is far from a straightforward race to call. Torrent, just four pounds adrift, represents the most pressing threat and must be respected, while Notnowlinda and Kom Tu Voudras are not without claims of their own in what looks a competitive little contest. That said, Rebel Tribesman’s edge at the head of the ratings gives him a slender but meaningful advantage, and he is taken to make it count. Rebel Tribesman is our selection.
