Operateur steps up in trip under a penalty having won his last couple of starts at this venue. But LATIN REBEL has less than a length to find with the former on latest running and is taken to come out best this time on much better terms. Henpecked won at Ayr last month but something went amiss at the same track last week while Isdaal hasn't won since 2012 and looked no closer to doing so over track and trip last time. Travis County and Yourholidayisover have both won over hurdles recently, though Sergeant Pink is rated higher than over jumps.
