Verdict
Kayleigh Stephens steered Breakheart to an unexpected victory at Sandown last month and he is only 2lb higher. Weardiditallgorong has been getting closer but Mamnoon steps away from his beloved Bath having shown little elsewhere so far. STONEBOAT BILL gets on well with Ger O’Neill, who is back on board after the five-year-old found 2m a shade too far last time at Thirsk - the top weight can end a frustrating sequence. Spirit Of The Vale probably won’t be far away again while Druid's Diamond was first past the post at Beverley last month only to lose the race in the stewards’ room, though is 4lb higher now.
