        Verdict

        AEGEAN DESTINY looks the pick here, and seems well capable of following up a recent win in a seller, but dangers lurk in the form of Jehu and stable-mate Avon Krystal. Richard Hannon's stepping Aegean Destiny up in trip again, after being well suited over seven furlongs. She looked to have more within her, and her connections bought her back. She's gone up six pounds for that success, but looks well treated, whereas top-weight Jehu may be carrying too much for his modest form, which saw him win a maiden and a nursery earlier in the summer. Subsequently he's shown little in nurseries, but a drop into claiming company could have the desired effect and see him back in the winners' enclosure. Avon Krystal has disappointed in three maidens to date, and looks to be the yard's second pick, but a step up in trip and drop in class may prove beneficial. However with solid recent form and plenty in hand from the top-weight, we'll side with Aegean Destiny.
