Stoneham and Iguacu have both been hurdling but the former has yet to win on Turf on the Flat and the latter hasn't scored on the level since 2012. Binky Blue and Lettuce Snow are unproven over this longer trip but Honour Promise scored over track and trip back in May though remains 8lb higher. DUC DE SEVILLE held on for second in testing ground at Ffos Las on his first start over 1m4f and racing off the same mark as when winning at Wolverhampton last year, Clive Cox' charge gets the nod.
