Verdict
SOUTHFIELD STONE, by Fair Mix out of a Supreme Leader mare, is bred for jumping. He was third to a subsequent hurdles winner on his debut at Exeter in February and will know more today. Romeo Brown has been quite highly tried in his two runs to date. He’s not without ability and should make a race of it with the Paul Nicholls’ runner. Captain Tommy has pointing experience while Agent Westy is by Fame And Glory and a half-brother to numerous winner jumpers so warrants a market check.
