STONEBROOK won by seven lengths over track and trip last month on his first start for Donald McCain. He's likely to be a short price to follow up today under a penalty. Sheilas Lady defied big odds to finish a fair fifth at Wetherby and should improve while The Orange Rogue has won a point-to-point but the market will probably be the best guide the chances of the newcomers. Amazing Eight is a full brother to bumper and hurdles winner Carlton Jack and may be the pick of them.
