Verdict
A winner at Worcester in May, DESTROYTHEEVIDENCE finished runner-up at Southwell on his reappearance. He’ll be sharper today and is weighted to beat the others with official handicap ratings. Songo landed a double at Newton Abbot during the summer while Presenting Nelly also defied a penalty when scoring at the same track last month. Much Too Dear placed here back in May and the brother to a hurdles winner, Monks Meadow, debuts under Rules.
