12:45 2015 NAVAN MEMBERSHIP MAIDEN HURDLE 2M

Last year, this race was won by a smart recruit from the flat in the shape of the Willie Mullins-trained Aklan and this year’s renewal will see the hurdling debut of another useful performer on the level, the Andy Oliver-trained Stony Grey. The son of Winged Love finished last season with an official rating of 85 and has always appealed as being one to make a hurdler. He is sure to have been well schooled for his hurdling debut and is an interesting prospect. Of the more traditional National Hunt types, the Karl Thornton-trained Round Tower warrants respect based on his win in a bumper at Down Royal in November.
