Verdict

DESTROYER DEPLOYED, a decent staying hurdler on his day, jumped well enough on his fencing bow at Fakenham to suggest he has a future over the larger obstacles and he should be good enough to defy his penalty against these. Keltic Rhythm has proved very frustrating over hurdles but has ability and could make the frame here while Midnight Mustang was third over timber at Taunton in December. Miss Milborne looks a bigger danger, however, as she should have learned plenty from her run behind Baby Shine at Newbury and was rated 130 over hurdles.
