Verdict

STOKE THE FIRE wasn't beaten far in a stronger novice than this at Naas last time and he looks set to make a small contribution to Willie Mullins' bid for the British jumps trainers' championship. Tommys Law took a step forward when going close at Ayr and he is clear second choice ahead of Uncle Mac.
