Verdict
Stoner's Choice doesn’t look a natural jumper of fences and only won a match at Kempton in May. He is rated 5lb higher than SO SCOTTISH but Emmet Mullins’ raider may be a better bet over these stiff obstacles having impressed at Tipperary earlier this month. Chasing debutant Grand Voyage is a full brother to winning chaser Clic Work and a half-brother to the useful Faivoir so any market support should be taken seriously.
