Verdict
Set In Stone was well beaten in a decent handicap at York last time but has the beating of a few of these on today’s terms including Somnambulist, Tread Lightly and Used To Be. She’s also preferred to stablemate Unite The Clans but it would be no surprise if a newcomer was good enough at the first time of asking. Precious Rock is a half-brother to winning sprinters but GREY DIAMOND is related to a middle-distance winner in Germany so Mark Johnston’s charge gets the vote.
