Stoneham was due to bid for her hat-trick at Musselburgh yesterday but finished well ahead of No Not Yet over 2m at Musselburgh last month. MAPLE STIRRUP was runner-up at Newcastle recently, ahead of Hero's Story, and could be the one to cash in should Iain Jardine’s mare not appear as though Gunner Lindley has been placed over hurdles and over shorter trips on the Flat of late he has not won anywhere since 2013. The remainder are even hard to fancy on recent form.
