      Verdict

      Stony Stream changed hands for £40,000 after finishing second at Navan in September when trained by Eoin Griffin. He has a decent chance of going one better here but is up against a couple with winning form between the flags. THEGALLANTWAY was a very easy winner at Tinahely in October and is preferred to Onthefrontfoot, who was less impressive in the same months on his fourth start. Far Bihoue’s third at Fakenham may not amount to much as he was soon left behind.
