Mr Strutter has strong claims on the back of a second at Redcar where he finished in front of Regal Decree and Little Kingdom. An apprentice’s allowance helps his cause today but Kody Ridge has more on his plate after landing a seller at Leicester on his latest start. CHIPPING remains unexposed and posted his best effort so far when second at Ayr last time. Dropping down a grade with first-time headgear to aid concentration, Michael Dods’ charge could prove the one to beat.
