Verdict
Stone Of Destiny won here back in 2020 but hasn’t scored since though has gone close on the all-weather recently. But PROSPECT will be sharper for a recent outing at Newcastle and having won on soft going at Thirsk at this time last year, he makes most appeal of Paul Midgley’s four runners. High Opinion won at Nottingham in October when Little Muddy went close at the same fixture while Burj Malinka won twice at Hamilton last season.
