In depth

Verdict

The unexposed STONECUTTER ended last year with a maiden win at Southwell. There looks plenty more to come from the Coolmore-owned grey and he can go in again now handicapping for the first time. Sioux Chieftain has returned a losing favourite at Wolverhampton the last twice but better is expected from Faithful Mount, twice a winner in France last year and well beaten over too short a trip at Lingfield on his UK debut. Both Willie Wag Tail and Daghash last won in 2012 and look up against it.
