Verdict

The switch to handicaps/longer trips is likely to see CAUSING PROBLEMS in a much better light and he can deny Bergamo Gold a hat-trick. Risk Averse Rebel has been shaping well here and shouldn't be discounted.

2	Improving filly followed up her Lingfield success with a cosy C&D victory (under a penalty) last time. Should be well positioned given how this is likely to unfold and sure to make a bold bid for the hat-trick. 2nd Pick 2 Bergamo Gold (Ire) Jockey: Jason Hart Trainer: Charlie Johnston J: Jason Hart T: Charlie Johnston	97	-	-	-	56%	4/5

7	Backed up a promising handicap debut here when 1 length third behind Bergamo Gold over C&D last time, carried head awkwardly but finished to good effect from a less-than-ideal position. Now 3 lb better off with that rival and needs considering. 3rd Pick 7 Risk Averse Rebel (Ire) Jockey: Gina Mangan Trainer: Gary Hanmer J: Gina Mangan T: Gary Hanmer	100	-	-	-	17%	5/1
