In depth
Verdict
Stonking makes his handicap debut on his return from a long break following a convincing victory over 1m4f here in November. FURTHER MEASURE got up in the final strides to score over 1m4f here a couple of weeks ago and the step up in trip is likely to suit while winning bumper and hurdler Glory And Honour will have no problems with the trip and has scored around here. Gold Arch was rated 80 at his best though he's run poorly since returning from a very long break.
