Kelamita is penalised for winning over track and trip recently while Sunblazer has been beaten over hurdles since scoring over course and distance in September. Bumper winner Two Jabs opened his account on the Flat when winning a maiden race over 1m4f here and Russian Royale is only upped 4lb after landing a handicap at Salisbury last time. But NORAB makes most appeal of the recent winners after scoring by three lengths over today's trip at Sandown - Marco Botti's charge gets the nod to defy a 6lb rise.
