In depth
Verdict
Creativity and FINERY are both owned by Cheveley Park Stud. The former has course experience having stayed on strongly in a 7f nursery earlier this month but the latter looks to have more scope having shown up well over 7f on Tapeta at Newcastle. Capla Cubiste will have found 7f too short at Brighton and will have come on markedly for the experience while London Calling showed his best form to date when stepped up to this trip at Chelmsford.
