Verdict
Corner Creek is back down to a mark only 2lb higher than when making all to oblige over fences over course and distance in October. Subsequent chase efforts off higher marks have been acceptable and he should deliver a solid account returned to hurdles despite the concession of weight all round. Nevertheless, it's been a long time between drinks since he tackled the smaller obstacles and a couple are preferred against him. Taras Day, in receipt of 18lb from the topweight, was noted staying on quite nicely here last month and could well progress again over the additional half mile. SEAPOINT is the choice though as her penultimate run reads as the best recent form on offer. She should have plenty more to come over timber at the age of 5.
