CRIEVEHILL impressed when winning at Sandown last time out and he can register his third victory in this opening 2m4f handicap chase. Nigel Twiston_Davies charge ran well here prior to that and can see off Creep Desbois who can finish runner-up for the second consecutive start today. Twenty Eight Guns and put a disappointing effort last time out behind her by finishing third on this occasion.
