Verdict

Stone Of Destiny has been narrowly beaten the last twice but the eight-year-old hasn’t won in more than three years. However, he is still preferred to stablemate Maxzeno, who returns from a break. Selby's Pride was only half-a-length behind Ray Vonn at Nottingham and is 4lb better off so has to go on the shortlist but SECRET MISTRAL (NAP) wasn’t winning out of turn over 5f here four weeks ago and is probably even more effective over this trip. Hoof It Hoof It only won a Class 6 at Ripon but is still at the right end of the handicap but Fortunate Star is best over the minimum.
