Smoking Pigeon won at Huntingdon in January and this track is similar in nature but Creative Control is only 1-8 over fences and was pulled up last time. Prevaricate still has plenty to prove over the larger obstacles while The Wrekin is making his chasing debut very late in the campaign. GREAT D’ANGE has been let down by his jumping the last twice but Aidan Coleman gets off Rocky Lake to partner Tom George’s charge, who may have benefited from a short break. Seigneur Des As, already a course and distance winner, and Hipop Des Ongrais are potential dangers.
