Carved In Stone improved from his racecourse debut to score in very taking style at Doncaster for trainer Hugo Palmer and jockey Brian Hughes. He showed a very willing attitude in the final two furlongs and ultimately won cosily at the line. A taking individual with the necessary size and scope he rates an exciting long term NH prospect. In the meantime he could be one to run in the Listed bumper at Cheltenham on New Years day for new connections.
