UNKNOWN REBEL continued his good progress when winning over a shorter trip at Hamilton last time. Kevin Ryan's charge may be capable of even better over this longer distance and is taken to land his hat-trick. Chookie Hamilton just got the better of Meetings Man over 1m4f at this track recently and they're closely matched, while a good run from Grandad Bill in the previous race would boost confidence in Simonside who finished a length behind the former at Ayr last month. Zennor has been running well in amateur races and it was also an amateur event that Jewelled Dagger won over C&D in July.
