Former Seven Barrows inmate Cracking Destiny is low-mileage and comes here having notched a first win at Wincanton. There should be more to come but he's not known for responding to pressure and, with the handicapper having added a fair chunk, it would be preferable to see him do it again before supporting. SPRING WOLF has come back from a long-absence and scored nicely at Exeter last month, he can back that up today. Wind surgery has done wonders for Midnight Chill, 2-3 over fences, and likely to have a key say in this contest.
- Spring Wolf
- Midnight Chill
