Stoney Mountain (5/6), Floating Rock (11/4), Saint Arvans (5/1), Lovely Moon (9/1), Bluefortytwo (50/1)

This looks a good opportunity for STONEY MOUNTAIN to open his chasing account. He ran up to his useful best over hurdles when winning at Newbury in November and can improve on what he has shown over fences so far. He can get the better of chase debutants Floating Rock and Saint Arvans, with the former the danger as the higher rated of the pair over hurdles.
