TRUE DESTINY (NAP) has raced four times over 2m and won three of those contests including his latest start at Nottingham. There looks more to come and he’s preferred to Grey Mist, who has won all five outings on the Flat and over hurdles since joining Karen McLintock. He beat So Near So Farhh easily enough when scoring at Ripon last time though the latter re-opposes on more favourable terms. Rubenesque won over a similar trip to this at Pontefract in between hurdling while Cornerstone Lad won over timber last month and is not badly treated back in this code. Bodacious Name narrowly beat Royal Flag at Pontefract last year but the latter arrives here in the better form.
