Verdict

CREBILLY created an excellent impression when going in at Newcastle on his hurdling debut and looks the way to go here with lots of improvement on the cards from this costly son of Soldier of Fortune. Hurlerontheditch showed more than enough to win a race of this nature when second at Bangor though so should ensure Jonjo O'Neill's 6-y-o doesn't have things all his own way. Liberty Hunter appeals as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
