Verdict

STRINGYBARK CREEK has been in excellent form during the last month and was in no way disgraced when failing to complete the hat-trick at Wolverhampton last time. His previous successes both came on turf and he looks to have another major chance here off a 2lb higher mark of 63. The Groove has performed well on both starts since joining David Evans and Conflagration would have every chance if putting his latest effort well and truly behind him when trailing home last of 11 at Beverley. He had previously looked on the upgrade. It's Not Unusual showed a little more promise the last day and is certainly the one to check in the market for a yard going places, whilst Smart Mover and Cruel Clever Cat have each-way claims from the foot of the weights.
