EXPERIMENTALIST should be winning this despite his penalty. Beaten only a length at Newton Abbot last time, Tim Vaughan's charge has little to fear from today's rivals if running anywhere near the same level. Exclusive Dancer was beaten a long way when fourth here on her hurdling bow though she still finished ahead of Recway Lass and Razzle Dazzle 'Em got no further than the first obstacle when unseating at Cartmel last week.
