Rainbow Rebel looked to be stuck on his earlier mark before landing a double. He’s penalised for last week’s success in better company at Haydock but can still figure while Aasheq is upped in class off a higher mark bidding for a hat-trick after winning at Carlisle. JABBAAR has gone close at Hamilton the last twice but scored by over three lengths over a furlong further here earlier with Maghfoor well beaten. Iain Jardine’s charge gets the nod on that form.
