Opening event at Southwell on Monday....

Stoneacre Boy has impressed me strongly on his last two outings. The clock doesn't lie and his 4 length victory of course and distance was set in a good time. He may well have improved on that last time setting a very strong pace over 6 furlongs at Wolverhampton, keeping on well to finish 2nd. He has only gone up 1lb in the handicap for that last run and with an improving profile he looks the one to beat here.

Main danger will no doubt be Garlogs who has a strong course & distance record. He may though have reached his level of progression and is a little vulnerable to an improver - add to that Stoneacre Boy's trainer Peter Grayson will have a good idea how good Garlogs is - after his own Stoneacre Lad comfortably beat him.

If Stoneacre Boy reproduces his form over C&D he should be able to score here.


Final decision made tomorrow - dependent on price.
