Run With Pride was winning for the first time since 2014 when scoring at Kempton in October and is 5lb higher today. Hamish Mcgonagain won over 5f here recently but finished behind Major Crispies at Newcastle earlier. The latter has a couple of lengths to find with A SURE WELCOME (NAP) on recent running over course and distance when John Spearing’s charge finished runner-up. A winner here before that, he has more scope than most and gets another chance.
