Son Of U S Navy Flag Obliges On Return

Nibras Rainbow (2g U S Navy Flag - Show Rainbow, by Haafhd) continued a fine weekend for first season sire U S Navy Flag when making a winning return to action at Leicester on Sunday.

The Ismail Mohammed-trained bay stepped up to seven furlongs at the weekend and was ridden to chase the leader by PJ McDonald. Asked to quicken after the two furlong pole, he kept on well to prevail by a head on the line.

Owned by Saeed Al Tayer, Nibras Rainbow was bred by Diomed Bloodstock. He continues a promising start at stud by U S Navy Flag, who celebrated Stakes success the previous day when Ocean Vision (U S Navy Flag) landed a Listed sprint at Deauville.
