Philip Rothwell continued his excellent run when the consistent and infuriating Got The Urge finally shed his maiden tag at the thirty first attempt when running out a convincing ten length winner of the Martinstown Opportunity Handicap Chase.

Donal MacAuley rode the chestnut son of Snurge and he got to the front off a fast gallop entering the straight, he was soon clear, and went on to beat Mont Tresor

Rothwell said: "He is the most frustrating horse I've ever trained but he is also one of the most honest. It is lovely that he has finally stuck his head in front. I think they went too fast up front and it suited this fellow well.

"He deserved a lucky day and I'm delighted for his owner too, Joan Lambert. She is a great owner and she also has Current Resession with me. I think he is a very exciting horse."
