Verdict

You don't get many 13-year-olds running in races like this and veteran chaser Creevytennant could find a few of these too fleet-footed. BLACK SAM BELLA was only headed close home by Big Penny at Bangor and the first two pulled clear. She should have learnt plenty from that and can go one better. Cresswell Legend beat a subsequent winner over 2m here on his hurdling debut and will have no problems with the step up in trip, though is giving 12lb to the selection. Haul Away didn't have the pace to get competitive in a Bangor bumper but should do better over this longer distance.
