Verdict

Destined To Shine justified market support at Uttoxeter last month but has more to do here raised 7lb. Darling Alko won easily on his chasing bow at Ludlow in November and then came up against a decent sort when racing off the mark at Warwick. Celtic Rising’s jumping remains a concern, however, while Grania O'Malley was never travelling when pulled up at Hereford last time, though the form of that race is working out well. Twice a winner over hurdles last year, FANZIO (NAP) has come up against useful novices in his two runs to date over fences and can make in third-time lucky.
