Verdict

STONE'S THROW has shaped with promise on both hurdle starts to date and, with the step up in trip promising to trigger improvement, he's taken to make it third time lucky in this sphere. Just A Rose is a noteworthy Rules newcomer having joined Paul Nicholls after winning her sole outing in points, with Noahsgreatrainbow surely capable of appreciably better based on his bumper form.
