Unplaced in all three starts. Well beaten at 150-1 behind Johns Spirit when last of 7 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Stratford over 2m (good) in October last year. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Miss L Gardner.
Hard to be overly confident about any of these but REBEL FLAG was really well backed to land a Stratford handicap when last seen in October and, given a good break since, there is a good chance he can show himself capable of better this afternoon. A return to form would bring Galley Slave into the equation and he isn't ruled out, with similar sentiments also applicable to Hi Ho Silvia.
