Second twice in handicaps since opening her account over 2m at Hexham, DOLLYS DESTINATION is likely to appreciate the drop back in distance and Conor Orr’s claim negates much of her penalty. See The Sea has finished second in both starts to date and her yard has hit form with a vengeance so she is respected while Mega Double is better than she showed in a handicap here last month when she probably needed the run. Cardy has placed in a point and a bumper so should make a hurdler while winning bumper Dorette made late headway at Stratford earlier this month.
