Verdict

STRINGTOYOURBOW delivered a most assured of jumping when opening his chase account at Southwell and it's unlikely that a 6 lb rise will be enough to prevent him from following up. Having shaped with encouragement on his chase debut last month, One More Stroke is taken to build on that and emerge as the main danger ahead of the hat-trick seeking Cardamon Hill and Monochromix.
