In a match-up between the Evan Williams and Tim Vaughan yards, honours can go to the latter via STONETHROWER. The Irish import has been placed in better company and may have a little more scope than stablemate Silver Story, who has been chasing lately and would probably prefer the ground a little softer. Bell Harbour has improved lately, however, and can't be ignored as he was fourth over a similar trip at Ffos Las only eight days ago.
