Verdict
STONEBROOK ran well for a long way on his return to action in better company at Haydock last month. He will be sharper for this and is fancied to get back to winning ways but there are plenty of others with claims including Mwaleshi and Sa Suffit, who both revert to hurdling off lower marks, while Jet Master can also race off a 15lb lower mark back over timber. One For Harry can be given a chance back in this lower grade and Tantamount could also figure with a repeat of last year's second in similar company at Musselburgh.
