In depth

Verdict

STONECUTTER (NAP) has changed hands since winning on his handicap debut for Marco Botti over course and distance last month. He can continue his progress and defy a 6lb rise. Vosne Romanee beat little to land the odds at Wolverhampton last week and carries a penalty while Royal Marskell has done all his winning on the Fibresand at Southwell so far and has the beating of both The Lock Master and Deuce Again on recent form. Nebula Storm has won over hurdles since picking-up a seller on the Flat in August and may prove best of the rest.
