Verdict
STONY ROAD was placed twice in bumpers and hurdles earlier in his career and has scored four times between the flags, including his latest start at Howick. He's taken to get the better of likely favourite Coeur De Fou, who represents a full-time yard in good form but has a dismal strike-rate and no form on ground this heavy. Northgeorge has won two points but makes his debut under Rules today, though is still preferred to the modest Churchtown Love.
