Superrollercoaster ran better over course and distance last time but Oliver Sherwood's gelding faces no easy task under 11st 12lb and a better bet looks to be SCOTT'S MILL, from the in-form Sue Smith stable, who gets the vote over The Maystone. the last mentioned ran better when narrowly beaten by Smart Thinker over course and distance last time and he has to be respected on that evidence but a 7lb rise for that outing makes this tougher. Stark Raven has failed to complete in his last two starts and of more interest may be Stormont Dawn, who would have every chance if staying this far. Paul Murphy's Has Scored has been pulled up in each of his last three starts and preference is for Sue Smith's Scott's Mill, who has been running creditably of late, comes from a stable in form and he looks worth chancing off what seems a fair mark.
