SEATTLE CREEK, beaten a neck at the Curragh in October, started odds-on for his track debut last month but found Dances With Stars too strong. The latter wasn't beaten far in a strong handicap next time so Luke Comer's charge can get off the mark. The winner's yard is represented by the newcomer White Marlin, a half-brother to this season's Flying Five winner Romantic Proposal and two other winners. Elzaamsan was returning from a long break when staying on into second over the extended 1m2f track a month ago so is greatly respected along with Beautiful Chaos, who didn't get the run of the race when fourth at Galway in August. Mads Black Eights was a 200/1 chance when runner-up to Indigo Desert last week and a similar effort should see him in contention.
