Verdict

STONEY WOOD and From Me To You both contested races that have worked out well last time. Michael Bell's charge is narrowly preferred with Billy Loughnane back in the saddle, while a case can also be made for Ard As A Rock and Hollieisthedollie on the pick of their respective efforts.

3	Built on previous all-weather promise when ½-length second in a similar event at Southwell (6f) last time, only caught by an improving closer late on. That form has been well advertised, and he has leading claims to get off the mark. 1st Pick 3 Stoney Wood (Ire) Jockey: Billy Loughnane Trainer: Michael Bell J: Billy Loughnane T: Michael Bell	100	-	-	-	56%

7	Best effort when ¾-length third in a course nursery (7f) on penultimate start. Some mitigation for subsequent sixth at Southwell (form worked out well) and return to 6f no issue. Warrants another chance back in slightly calmer waters. 2nd Pick 7 From Me To You (Ire) Jockey: Seamus Cronin Trainer: Richard Hannon J: Seamus Cronin T: Richard Hannon	99	-	-	-	20%

1	Hasn't kicked on from a promising debut at Newbury (6f) in July. First-time visor on when beaten 3¼ lengths under change of tactics in a course nursery (5f) latest. Will benefit from this ease in grade/step back up in trip, though, and he needs a second look. 3rd Pick 1 Ard As A Rock (Ire) Jockey: William Carson Trainer: David Evans J: William Carson T: David Evans	96	-	-	-	8%
