Won twice last season, including over 3m3f on soft, and creditable runner-up on the second of his three runs this autumn; off three months but thereabouts judged on those better efforts.

T: Stuart Coltherd

C&D winner (soft) just over a year ago and narrowly beat a hot favourite in a match at Catterick (3m1f, good) in February; was having his second start back from a lengthy absence when beaten 2l into second of eight behind Ballylinch back here (soft) last time; 2lb better off and shouldn't be far away again.

Made mistakes when last of six over C&D on recent stable debut; C&D winner on soft last November off 4lb lower; could fare better this time.

Creative Control

11st 11lb

J: William Maggs

T: Donald McCain

Well handicapped on some of last season's form but had fortune on his side when winning at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in September and has been safely held twice since; should be fine over today's trip but needs to up his game; tongue-tie fitted.

J: Brian Hughes

T: Donald McCain

Made it 2-10 over fences when scoring at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in September but the clear leader fell two out in that race and this 7yo came up well short in his follow-up bid at Bangor last month; others preferred.
