Real Stone is very unpredictable whether by nature or design. (Given that he's a Skelton you can guess where my suspicions lie...)

But it's only a £20k race which wouldn't be as a competitive as a sack race for members of my Men's Shed and more of a lottery. Very occasionally in these races you get a lightly raced improver and they can offer rich pickings but this doesn't look like on of them.
