Verdict

Three-time course winner SOUTHFIELD STONE concedes weight all round but his recent run in the Tolworth Hurdle showed he has more quality than this field and, given his track record here, he looks hard to oppose. Dr Sanderson is next best having run well both starts this season while Bold Plan should benefit from running in a race of slightly less quality than has been the case lately.
