Most of these have been threatening to get their heads in front but DUTCH DESTINY (NAP) is one of the least exposed. She’s getting closer in handicaps and was clear of the rest when failing to prevent Guishan from landing a double at Newmarket last month. Bossipop also has decent claims dropping down in class and has won in testing going before. He’s preferred to Rantan, a runner-up over 5f here last time. English Hero and Andar have both placed off similar marks while Predetermined makes his handicap debut.
