      Verdict

      Creationist has won on Polytrack and Tapeta but is probably best watched making his debut on Turf over a longer trip. Aspire Tower won over 1m1f here last year but this surface might be quicker than ideal and he’s been gelded and switched stables over the winter. NAYEF ROAD was third over course and distance in the autumn and will stay further than this. He’s also won on the July Course here and top weight shouldn’t prevent another big run. His yard also run Beverley winner Fraser Island but the second in that race was well beaten in a maiden at Musselburgh earlier this week. Never Do Nothing was third off this mark over track and trip on his comeback and won twice last year so shouldn’t be far away again.
