Instingtive goes for the hat-trick but may find a further 4lb rise difficult to cope with. He was also behind Christmas In Usa on better terms here last month. WIG WAM WIGGLE hasn’t run since scoring at Hexham in November but that was on heavy going and he also ran well on that surface in a bumper last year - Micky Hammond’s novice is probably worth sticking with. Main Fact ran a shocker last time at Sedgefield but Lastin' Memories has a good chance of reversing Ayr running with Instingtive on these terms and is probably a bit better than form figures would suggest.
