True Destiny is 5lb higher than when scoring at York last summer and hasn’t raced since July. He should be winning again this year but HOUSE EDGE has a recent outing under his belt having been off the track since 2017. A runner-up over 1m3f here last month ahead of Jersey Wonder, Michael Bell’s grey should stay this longer trip and Ryan Moore’s presence is another positive. Blame It On Sally should be sharper for a recent run and looks best of the remainder.
