Verdict

A few in with a shout but DESTIN D'AJONC shaped as though better for the run on the back of wind surgery when fifth on reappearance at Uttoxeter just under 3 weeks ago. That will have blown away any cobwebs so, having been dropped 2 lb, he's put forward as the answer. Gemirande made a pleasing return at Southwell recently and can provide the main threat, ahead of The Mighty Arc.

  1. DESTIN D'AJONC (FR)
  2. GEMIRANDE (FR)
  3. THE MIGHTY ARC (IRE)
