Forecasts
Pym (2/1), Stoney Mountain (11/4), Rockpoint (4/1), Imperial Aura (6/1), Aye Aye Charlie (6/1)
A fascinating little event with four of the quintet already having chasing experience and a newcomer who one suspects will be useful over larger obstacles. That debutant, Stoney Mountain isn’t given an easy start over fences but he’s hard to ignore given his recent hurdling form. Rockpoint and Aye Aye Charlie have met twice before around here over fences with the former beating the latter on each occasion; expected to do so again here. PYM built significantly on his debut when winning at Ascot despite veering left on the run-in. He should be able to make further progress after that experience with good hurdler Imperial Aura the one who could provide the main danger despite his inexperience.
