Verdict

There may be a tense moment or two owing to his haphazard jumping, but STONER'S CHOICE will ultimately prove a tough nut to crack. He raised his game a notch when scoring at Ascot last month and this step up in trip is unlikely to be a problem. Castle Rushen promises to be suited by this stiffer test and is next on the list, while Threeunderthrufive is also accorded respect.

  1. STONER'S CHOICE
