Verdict

There are question marks against a number of these but Vaillant Creek ran his best race so far over timber when second to Raktiman at Market Rasen while Belmount would have a chance if handling the drop in distance. Iron Butterfly, third at Fakenham last month, and Towcester scorer Bouggietopieces also enter calculations but Mikey Hamill can steer the consistent JOHNS LUCK to a second career victory as his claim takes care of the 6lb his mount has been raised for another good run behind Dawson City at Taunton.
