Verdict

AEGEAN DESTINY ran out a ready winner over a similar distance on soft ground at Newcastle eight days ago. She has a penalty to carry here but Simon Walker is one of the best amateur riders around and John Mackie's filly can complete a quick double. Dancing Primo beat Amir Pasha by five lengths over C&D last month and can be forgiven an uncharacteristically lacklustre effort on faster going at Ffos Las four days later. He may be in the handicapper's grip now, however, while Waahej was put 5lb after winning narrowly at Windsor. Old-timer Mustajed should be thereabouts, but this may be too tough for Transfer and Maybeme's Beverley win left a few questions still unanswered. Belle Boleyn's Goodwood third looks the best form of the remainder.
