Chilinlikeavillain was only beaten a neck by odds-on stablemate Richhill at Southwell last month and will be fancied to go one better but OAK CREEK wasn’t beaten far under 7lb claimer Ben Sutton at Doncaster and has even more scope. Great Snow was second at Wincanton after placing here in December so can’t be ignored but it’s difficult to make a case for many of the others.
