This could be one for the raiding Foster team courtesy of MAKE MY HEART FLY. The mare has been set demanding tasks against useful performers the last twice and has been beaten comfortably enough, but has also pulled well clear of the remainder on both occasions. She can benefit from this return to ordinary handicap company. She receives 1lb from Amalfi Doug with her good conditional's allowance factored in but the latter - who could go round here blindfold - is a tough nut to crack and seems sure to run his usual game race. Cracking Destiny is a player if finding last season's best form and similar comments apply to Boy's On Tour.
