Golden Destiny's winning run looks set to come to an end at the hands of MASTER OF DISGUISE who can plot her downfall. Kerrys Requiem and Brenin Taran are no back numbers and could get into the shake-up. The Makin filly is likely to make the market for our selection following a hat-trick of successes here and at Sandown. She's 19lbs higher than for the first of them but trounced the field last time and may not be done with yet. This is, inevitably, a tougher task though and preference is for the Cox gelding who has proven form in this grade. He disappointed at York on his penultimate start but had previously marked himself down as a sprinter to follow at Sandown and confirmed that impression at Goodwood last month. This marginally longer trip will help and he makes plenty of appeal. Kerrys Requiem only has a sole success to her name but she's run plenty of sound races in defeat and can make her presence felt whilst Brenin Taran has been given a chance by the handicapper and ran a more encouraging race at Kempton. Strictly and White Shift have claims at the weights but the former hasn't convinced and the latter may find that this is too competitive. Master Of Disguise can trump them all.
