It would be lovely to see Creevytennant go well here and the old boy is not without a chance but preference is for the younger legs of WHOSHOTWHO, half the age of the O'Brien stalwart. The Newland inmate has been knocking on the door for some time now and showed a pleasing aptitude for fences on his chasing bow last time when a Uttoxeter runner-up. He should progress with that experience behind him and is given the nod over Rejaah. The latter is mixing hurdling and chasing but has won here in the past and is currently operating off a 5lb lower mark over fences, hence the decision to come here presumably. Allelu Alleluia is also worthy of consideration if forgiven a strangely erratic performance the last day.
