Posted career best when taking apart a small field in handicap chase over C&D (good to soft) 4 weeks ago, jumping superbly. Raised 8 lb but may be capable of better yet.
|
Ran at least as well in defeat as when winning at Killarney when finishing runner-up in handicap chase at Down Royal (16.4f, soft) just over 6 weeks ago, running on. Looks the main danger to Real Stone on paper.
|
Gained reward for his consistency last season when scoring at Fontwell (17.8f) 12 months ago. Yet to hit top form in 3 runs this term though so others appeal more. Blinkers applied.
|
Made all over 2m at Ayr in January and hard to knock his consistency subsequently, finishing behind progressive novices at Carlisle and Aintree on first 2 starts this season. Failed to meet expectations and looked a bit ungainly at Wetherby recently, so he's best watched for now.

Forecasts
Real Stone (11/8), Netywell (7/4), Rose Sea Has (5/1), Bythesametoken (7/1)
This looks to revolve around the lightly-raced REAL STONE, who gained a bloodless success over C&D 4 weeks ago and Dan Skelton's charge is likely capable of better still. Irish-raider Bythesametoken and Netywell can chase him home in that order.
- Real Stone11/8
- Netywell7/4
