      Verdict

      DESTINYS DREAM is taken to follow up on his recent success at the expense of Granston and Bergonzi. The selection is now six pounds higher in the weights since scoring at Thisk earlier in the month. That win was due after some eye catching performances and she looks more than capable of winning again off her new mark. Granston has run well on each of his two starts this season finishing second and third in the process. He looks well treated on his best form and he is another to note in the betting market. Bergonzi won off a mark of 83 a couple of years ago and could prove to be a danger running off a 10 pound lower mark. His form at the back end of last season however was regressive and more will be expected on his seasonal reappearance. Destinys Dream has the best form on offer and gains the vote.
