      Verdict

      Oak Creek finished runner-up on good going at Ludlow back in February but it was heavy underfoot when MINELLA BLUEWAY placed at Chepstow on his recent hurdling debut and Evan Williams’ charge should go close in this. Bridget Mary was purchased for £75,000 by Rebecca Curtis after winning between the flags in Ireland while Itseemslikeit will be sharper for last month’s fourth in a bumper and this extra distance will suit on his hurdling bow.
