STONEY MOUNTAIN was a smart bumper performer and made a fine start to his hurdling career when turning over a horse with very useful form last season. He looked a really nice prospect there and can add this contest on his ascent up the novice ladder. There is no shortage of dangers however with Doux Pretender, an impressive winner of his last hurdles race chief among them for the champion trainer. Hillary John's Downpatrick win could hardly have worked out better so he too must be considered.
