Verdict

Destiny Is All put a string of frustrating efforts behind him when opening his account over a shorter trip here last month. But HOUSTON TEXAS (NAP) is proven over the distance having landed a double at Carlisle with his latest success. Nicky Richards’ charge prevailed despite a bad mistake a couple of fences out and there looks more to come. Donna's Delight was well beaten behind the selection before posted a much better effort over 3m here and is preferred to Event Of Sivola while Gipsy Lee Rose was due to run at Hexham yesterday.
