WHOLESTONE was a model of consistency throughout last season and is expected to be hard to beat if ready to go on his return. Keeper Hill could be the main danger back over hurdles while Nautical Nitwit may be able to reverse the form with Monbeg Theatre from their course and distance clash last time, 3lb better off at the weights.
