Verdict

STRAIT RUN had threatened to score on a couple of occasions before getting off the mark on his 18th attempt over hurdles at Sedgefield last month. He wouldn't have much more to do to complete a double and Joe Colliver can steer him home again. Instingtive will be carrying a 7lb penalty for a narrow victory over today's rival Pc Dixon and the runner-up, who is only five and open to improvement, can turn the tables on slightly better terms. Shanaway has shown a glimmer of ability on occasions but may need a confidence booster while his stable companion Budarri has done nothing to justify carrying a big weight.
