Stoneham has won at Worcester and Sedgefield and was taking on better opposition last time, though still looks to have it all to do under a penalty. Bumper winner Storming Strumpet has been placed three times over hurdles but disappointed on her latest start at Towcester. Mo Chailin makes her debut over hurdles after two runs in bumpers and is interesting, but so is REGAL WAYS. The latter won over 1m4f on the Flat for Mark Johnston and Brian Ellison has found her a decent race in which to begin her career over timber.
