Andy's up the Creek

OWNER Andy Stewart believes he has his best chance for glory in the National for some time in the Paul Nicholls-trained Rocky Creek.

"My Will finishing third to Mon Mome in 2009 is the best I've ever done," he said. "After Daryl Jacob finished second on Rocky Creek in the Hennessy and second in the Argento, he said we should be thinking of the Grand National and not the Gold Cup.

"Unfortunately for Daryl he is now injured, but we've secured Noel Fehily, who is riding the crest of a wave at present.

"Rocky Creek definitely has a touch of class."
