A tricky opener in which several arrive in form. Petrou has won both starts since joining Dan Skelton and will be fancied to complete the hat-trick, though this is his stiffest task to date. Destiny's Gold came good again at Uttoxeter last month but CAPE HIDEAWAY was going well over timber prior to a spin on the all-weather earlier this month and could be the value. Tyrrell's Succes won at Down Royal in March but One Term’s win at Worcester came over fences, though he can race off a 3lb lower mark back over timber and makes more appeal than Derrintoher Yank.
