Formscan  - Runner-up on his two starts to date, Creative Story warrants serious consideration in what should be an informative affair but he may have to fill the same position once more, this time behind T'CHALLA. Andrew Balding's charge shaped like a colt who was still learning his trade when second at Southwell and he can take a sizable step forward on his second start. Kilt performed with credit when looking unsuited by the way the race developed on his introduction over 7f at Newcastle in December and better can be expected here.
