5f 217y
Going: Good to Firm (Good in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneWillard Creek probably sets the standard on last year's form but this drop in trip wouldn't appear of obvious benefit and it may pay to take him on with GRANTLEY HALL, who could have gone close at Pontefract first time out but for blowing the start. He shaped as though this extra furlong would be ideal and is taken to land the spoils. Tiers Of Joy has a likeable pedigree and would be of interest if attracting market support, while Thin Lizzy has shown up well at Thirsk the last twice and should again be competitive.
