LOVES DESTINATION drops back distance today but arrives in the best form. He went very close at Leicester last week and should make another bold bid. Half of today's field failed to complete their latest outings and Rior may prove best of them on his earlier fourth at Taunton though Warrant Officer also has a shout having found only one too good over track and trip last month. Honourable Exit has won a point-to-point but has shown little over timber so far.
