Verdict
Nicene Creed has been raised a pound since finishing second at Exeter but knows where the winning post is. Hartforth was runner-up at Ayr after winning at Hexham while Maggie Blue left her previous form behind when scoring by nine lengths at Newcastle, though was raised 11lb for that effort. BRAE ON was just denied by Charlie Bucket over 3m at Hexham last time and could be improving. He still looks well in here off a 4lb higher mark so gets the nod.
