Verdict

STROLL ON BY (NAP) has improved for the switch to fences and beat Sherborne by nine lengths at Exeter last month. He can defy a rise in the weights with more to come over the larger obstacles. Boom Boom made little impression on his chasing bow and Nico de Boinville prefers stablemate Touchy Feely, who has her first start over fences along with Earth King, Richhill and Invincible Nao.
