In depth
Verdict
It might be dangerous to read too much into the winning debut run of Double Destiny and Godolphin's representative may be worth taking on with Flying Adored, who is readily preferred over Another Choice on 2lb better terms than the last time they met. Others that can make this a test for the rest include: Cellermaster, whose yard are in cracking form and he should be on the premises if his new mark does not prove to be too restricting. Woody Valentine is also given plenty of respected after a game effort in defeat last month, while Ghantoot may not be the easiest of rides for Nicky Mackay, but has shown improvement of late to enter the calculations as a value option for each-way thieves. Double Destiny was unsteady in the market before coasting to victory at Goodwood three weeks ago. However, the form has taken several knocks since then and he could be vulnerable against some of these experienced campaigners - Flying Adored, with Kieren Fallon aboard for the challenge making the most appeal. The John Dunlop-trained filly has paid her way with a couple of wins already under her belt this season - both coming when there has been a little ease in the ground. More significantly, Fallon was in the plate on both occasions and the deposed champion jockey has every chance of renewing a happy partnership with Flying Adored on these terms today.
