Verdict
Rambuso Creek is too well handicapped to totally ignore and he could offer some each-way value if he steps forward from an improved Southwell effort. However, a chance is taken on INSTANT BOND, who has been the subject of good support on a couple of occasions this winter. He still has more to offer over this trip and could be a surprise package on his first run here. Bad Habits and Oldbury Lad are more obvious ones to monitor in the betting.
Expert View Verdict
BAD HABITS has held his form well in defeat since winning over C&D at the end of last year. His latest run is worth marking up as he did much the best of those forcing the pace and he's effectively 2lb lower here with his jockey's claim. Rambuso Creek still has to prove his stamina for 7f but he finished well over 6f last time and he's been hinting at a revival of a much reduced mark of late. He can fill the places with Instant Bond who was unusually below par last time but was in good form previously.
