Verdict

RAMBUSO CREEK left the strong impression that he's ready to strike when making the frame in a couple of handicaps at Pontefract last month, and he gets the nod with Billy Loughnane in the hot-seat. Strong Johnson is clearly in good nick and looks a big threat, while Alpha Capture also merits consideration eased in class off this reduced mark. Last year's winner Temple Bruer is another to consider.
