Step up in class no bother to Stoneville

STONEVILLE took his tally to two from two over flights with a smooth performance in the Jim Strang and Sons Peugeot Novice Hurdle at Clonmel yesterday.

Eric McNamara's gelding beat little when taking his maiden on this track back in November, but made this step up in class with the minimum of fuss.

"He's a nice type, who jumps super and travels almost too well at times," said Conor O'Dwyer.
