    Verdict

    Gassin Golf looks the type to have a good season after a promising initial campaign and a run on the Flat three weeks ago will have put him straight. Tijori finished third at Bangor on his only start over hurdles in November and won twice on the Flat here during the summer. Minellaforlunch has been a bit unlucky in-running on his last two starts and should do better but CREEPY, who has competed at a much higher level including Grade 2's and was runner-up in a Cheltenham handicap last time, looks the one to be on.
