Verdict

Smugglers Creek won at Ayr last month and is not out of this with an apprentice’s 7lb allowance in his favour. Newstead Abbey was runner-up in a claimer here last time but seems best over shorter trips nowadays and GREY DESTINY is preferred. He’s been threatening a return to winning ways with placed efforts on the all-weather recently and landed a double here at the end of last year. Christmas Night is usually thereabouts but has just the one success in 17 starts and that was on Turf.
