Verdict
STONE OF DESTINY made a winning start at Newcastle before finishing runner-up to Corinthia Knight, rated 105, in a conditions race at the same track. He should prove much too good for these on today’s terms and also has the beating of Angel of The South on collateral form. The latter carries a double penalty as she returns to novice company while Kodiac Express won a maiden last year and went close over track and trip on last week’s return to action. Admissible finished last on his debut and has been gelded and changed yards since.
