Nothing makes strong appeal in a complex finale but STALLONE is less exposed than most and showed an improved level of form when a close fourth of nine on reappearance - his young pilot partnered a winner for the yard on Saturday at Thirsk. Lexikon and Kensington Art were first and third respectively last time and there should be less between them on the revised terms. Both merit short-list inclusion along with Southwell winner, Termonator, although there has to be a slight concern about the Tuer inmate tackling Turf for the first time.
