FIVE IN A ROW overturned the odds-on Chidswell at Sedgefield over this trip and can concede 7lb to Red Spinner with A P McCoy taking over the reins from a conditional. Donald McCain's bumper winner was just denied on his hurdling debut over course and distance and should be winning soon while the selection's stablemate Powerscourt Dreams would have claims on his third at Doncaster last season though, like Sparville, lacks a recent run. Course winner Stylish Chap steps up in trip while Diamond Fizz is also unproven over more than 2m.
