Verdict

The smart hurdler Quel Destin returned to the Flat in October with a victory at Bath. He's run well over fences since but faces a tough task today up against the progressive and versatile SOCIAL CITY. The latter has rattled up a four-timer over various distances on the all-weather tracks, including a double on this surface, and a further 6lb rise may not be enough to end the winning streak. Newcastle winner Ravenscar has held her form well subsequently and Sea Of Mystery finished runner-up over 1m6f here last time but Thawry has plenty to find with the selection while Severus Alexander has been in poor form over timber.
