Creggan White Hare has shown promise in a couple of previous runs here. Call Of The Wild looked progressive in the autumn but has a penalty to carry and BOOMBAWN’s form looks stronger. He was pulled out of a race at Wincanton on Wednesday on account of the soft ground so wouldn’t want significant rain but is the one to beat if lining up. Harry Du Berlais may not appreciate the shorter distance while Burrows Hall is making his debut over timber.
