Verdict
Stoney Path looks to have an excellent chance of following up his Hereford victory, off a six pound higher mark. Under The Thumb, better known as a chaser, looks too high in the handicap on this return to hurdles. Top weight Raneen Nashwan, has been well held off this mark in the past and looks to need to come down a few pounds.
