      Verdict

      Faithful Creek finished a close-up fifth at Wolverhampton last time but has yet to race on this surface. SERENITY NOW has won over course and distance on a couple of occasions and should be sharper for a comeback run over 1m6f here. Brian Ellison’s charge might be up to landing this off his current mark and gets the nod. Dizzey Heights has something to prove both on this surface and back over a longer trip while Esteaming has yet to race at the track and Obboorr was well beaten in a claimer here on New Year’s Day.
