    Verdict

    Ebony Rose has already won twice here but faces a stiff task today conceding weight all round. Creevytennant has an excellent record here over fences but the 13-year-old is making his hurdling debut. CALETT MAD is also better known as a chaser but is eight years younger than Creevytennant and also rated 5lb higher. He was placed in a Listed hurdle at Auteuil in 2015 and can give his yard back-to-back victories in this novice event. Hey Listen has scope but will be going chasing soon.
