Verdict

A good race in prospect here and Be My Destiny is given a narrow vote of confidence over Far Horizon and Keltic Bard - although Brooklyn's Gold has claims on the pick of his form and he appeals as the best of the rest. However, Be My Destiny still has plenty of scope for improvement over fences and can be confidently expected to have benefited from a confidence boosting round behind the useful Bal De Nuit at Newbury last month. That rival franked the form in fine style when winning a Grade 2 at Ascot last weekend and all the portents look good for Mark Pitman's charge. Far Horizon has a little to prove on his chasing debut so Keltic Bard could be the one to give Be My Destiny the most to do.
