Fingal's Cave won a handicap at Newcastle last month under today’s apprentice and Secret Glance has been placed in handicaps at Southwell recently but has a bit to find on these terms. Aqua Libre takes on higher rated horses having gone close in a claimer at Lingfield and the veteran Victoire De Lyphar may need this first start since September. But JOEY’S DESTINY (NAP) could prove good enough dropping down in class having competed in Class 3 company on the all-weather so far this year and a repeat of his second to Intransigent back in January should see him go close.
