We had outlined the Silver Fox Trophy at Leicester on the 28th of December for Creep for quite a while, but I put him in at Fakenham simply to have a look at the entries. I honestly didn't think the track would suit or the fact that the ground went soft but I thought it was a good opportunity for a winner and thankfully we were right. It wasn't made easy though as they omitted 4 fences which really isn't what he needs as he is such a good little jumper. Despite that he knuckled down and showed plenty of guts to win by 2 lengths. He is a horse we all adore at home and I am looking forward to hopefully seeing him progress over fences throughout the season.
