Rated 127, Some Day Soon sets a decent standard in this. He’s finished second at Bangor and Exeter already this season and was a close fifth at Cheltenham in between. The less-exposed SOUTHFIELD STONE won a bumper here two weeks ago and Paul Nicholls wastes no time putting him over hurdles. He gets the nod as Represented is proving expensive to follow. Dashel Drasher may have found 2m4f too far at Chepstow but still finished third. He should be more effective over this trip, though will need to settle better.
