Stoneacre Joe

J: David Allan

T: Tim Easterby

Some promise in the spring but he's now 0-10 and recent efforts have been poor; needs to be revived by a first-time tongue-strap.

Stoneacre Joe

9st 6lb

J: Sean Kirrane

T: Tim Easterby

Nine-race maiden who has been well held in third on his last two starts, including in first-time blinkers at Catterick two weeks ago; hasn't gone on from his fine start to the season and he struggled on his only previous try in handicap company; AW debut.

Stoneacre Joe

J: David Allan

T: Tim Easterby

Bright start to the season but has gone sharply backwards, finishing a long way back in small fields the last twice; much will depend on how he responds to first-time blinkers.

Form & Verdict
Raced three times last term, clear best effort when second of seven over C&D (good) on debut; major player if back to that form, and this reappearance may be the time to catch him; hood applied.

Hasn't built on his promising Ayr debut (6f, good) a year ago, but may have needed last month's reappearance over the same C&D (good to firm; first-time hood); blinkers are given a go this time and he remains unexposed, but a return to 5f is not sure to suit.

8st 8lb

J: Lauren Young

Lightly raced filly who couldn't get going quickly enough on handicap debut over 6f at Carlisle but was struggling from a fair way out when upped to 1m at Musselburgh in June; others more likely for the win.

Found things happening too quickly before eventually keeping on for fairly respectable sixth of nine on handicap debut at Carlisle (6f, good) a week ago; could plausibly be seen in a better light over this longer trip.

9st 3lb

J: Lauren Young

T: Jim Goldie

Triple-figure odds for all three starts (6f, good to firm/good) and hasn't achieved much; however, she now goes handicapping off a basement mark and she's from a family her trainer has done well with; could go well.
