STONEY ROVER has run his best races so far at Hexham but is back over his winning distance and Stephen Mulqueen’s claim halves his penalty so he’s just preferred to Welsh Rarebit, who has been placed twice here since the turn of the year, and Carry On Arcadio, who was just behind Lucinda Egerton’s charge when making his hurdling debut. Curramore has won bumpers for Charles Brynes and Lucy Normile so is an interesting recruit while Largy Prospect looks the pick of Ian Duncan’s pair.
