In depth

Verdict

Flat winner Aegean Destiny scored at the first time of asking over hurdles at Uttoxeter. She can't be ignored, though the second and third have both been beaten since. Justazippy's win at the same course has worked out better but it remains to be seen if she can reproduce that form here under a penalty. Tempest River won a Listed bumper in April and hasn't been disgraced in either start over timber. She has every chance of opening her account over obstacles today but we also like the look of RYDALIS. Venetia Williams' French import had subsequent winners Elegant Touch and Cross The Flags behind when runner-up to Heather Royal at Lingfield on her hurdles bow and should strip fitter here.
