Hidden Rebel never seems to run a bad race and will almost certainly be in the firing-line again. He's preferred to stable companion Alexandrakollontai but MARSH PRIDE (NAP) showed much-improved form when making all at Hamilton and could take some pegging back on this sharper track if getting to the front again. Atlantic Affair may be a shade high in the weights now but is still preferred to Pageant Belle and the lightly-raced Midnite Ride.
