Verdict

Southfield Stone is by a proven NH sire and out of a bumper winner so is worth a market check on his debut for a powerful yard getting 7lb from the previous winners. Darling Alko won in the French Provinces in October and has since joined Colin Tizzard. Fontsanta made all and pulled clear over a shorter trip at Fontwell last month but SUMMIT LIKE HERBIE overcame inexperience to justify favouritism on his debut here and will know more today. Here's Bingo has placed form over course and distance will need to up his game to land this.
