NIGEL'S DESTINY was beaten less than a length when third in much better company over track and trip last month. He sports a visor for the first time here and can confirm running with Take A Note. Aqua Ardens notched-up a four-timer last year that included a win over course and distance but remains 6lb higher than his latest victory while Excilly is upped in class off a higher mark having landed a double with a win at Leicester. Lethal Legacy should be capable of better this year now handicapping for the first time and Brave Echo was not far away in a lower grade handicap when third over track and trip recently.
