Opened his account in handicap hurdle at Clonmel in December for Declan Queally. Much higher in the weights in Britain but there was encouragement at Kelso (20.9f) last time. Now back over fences.

Back to best when scoring in handicap hurdle at Newbury (24.2f) in November. Lesser efforts last 2 starts, in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham latest, but can get back on track returned to fences.

Forecasts

Stoney Mountain (5/6), Floating Rock (11/4), Saint Arvans (5/1), Lovely Moon (9/1), Bluefortytwo (50/1)

Verdict

This looks a good opportunity for STONEY MOUNTAIN to open his chasing account. He ran up to his useful best over hurdles when winning at Newbury in November and can improve on what he has shown over fences so far. He can get the better of chase debutants Floating Rock and Saint Arvans, with the former the danger as the higher rated of the pair over hurdles.
