Verdict

Cresswell Crusader won a Chepstow bumper on heavy going and showed himself suited by testing ground again when landing a handicap hurdle at Fontwell. He may just have too much basic speed for Golden Call, who won a poor novice hurdle on soft ground over 3m1f here in November. The youngster Optimist has shown a little promise but a chance is taken that THE HOLLINWELL has a going day. Ferdie Murphy's charge won a similar race to this over the C&D just over a year ago and, though generally well beaten over fences subsequently, there's no doubt he has the ability for this if in the right mood.
