      Verdict

      DESTINED TO SHINE made the progressive Hasankey pull out all the stops at Wetherby 10 days ago. Kerry Lee’s charge is a real mud-lover who can take advantage of the fact that he is receiving weight all round in this. Duc De Beauchene won here last season and is only a pound higher but has only managed one run so far this term. Al Dancer may have lost his way over fences and was well beaten over hurdles last time but Eclair D'Ainay looks a danger as he was a close second at Lingfield after winning in this grade at Wetherby. Fugitif is back in a handicap after swimming out of his depth last time but is a novice up against seasoned campaigners.
