Stone Mason has a nice draw unlike stable companion Encashment, though the latter did well when runner-up at Bath. Nablawyh has shown some potential but is another drawn on the outside while Ifton is 0-17 and was beaten in a seller last time. GROUSEMAN ran well behind Jupiter Road here last month and the winner followed up. Pam Sly's charge finished last at Wolverhampton last week, his second poor run on Tapeta, but back on this more suitable surface he can land this poor finale.
