More than fair to say this contest features a host of irregular winners, with recent Sedgefield scorer Strait Run now just 2 from 35 (1 from 18 over hurdles). Instingtive and PC DIXON locked horns before the big freeze at Ayr last week, with the Lisa Harrison trained runner making all of the running on a stellar day for Ross Chapman. However, he has a 7lb penalty to carry for that success, and the selection has shown gradual improvement of late in low grade handicaps, so he can reverse that Ayr form and notch a maiden victory at the eighth attempt over hurdles.
