Verdict
One for the hunter chase fans to round off the card and although he's taking on some grand old-timers such as Real Value, Call It A Day and General Wolfe, David Pipe's Stacky Light could be worth a second glance coming into this race on the back of two good performances in the pointing field. Mr Dow Jones has been a shade disappointing of late and County Derry could be an outsider worthy of consideration.
