STETCHWORTH PARK went close over 1m4f at Wolverhampton last week when beaten less than a length with the re-opposing Swashbuckle a long way behind in third. Michael Bell’s charge should confirm running and can open his account. The latter may still prove best of the others with experience, who have shown little so far, but Mark Johnston’s newcomers may prove a threat. Lord Of The Valley has a stamina-packed pedigree but La Salesse is related to three winners and makes more appeal with Joe Fanning in the plate.
