By Racing TV
Last Updated: Tue 5 Dec 2023
Rebel Assault showed plenty of grit to cause a 25-1 upset in the coral.co.uk Rockingham Stakes at York.
Mark Johnston's juvenile was always prominent under Franny Norton and did particularly well to fend off It Dont Come Easy by a length and a quarter.
Staxton finished third, with even-money favourite Shabaaby rather one-paced in fourth.
Teruntum Star (10-1) blazed a trail at York to win the Coral Sprint Trophy under Kevin Stott.
Kevin Ryan's inmate had a whale of the time on the Knavesmire and was too quick Spring Loaded, who finished a length and three-quarters away in the valuable five-furlong dash.
Flying Pursuit and Eastern Impact were third and fourth respectively.
