Rewaayat has been gelded since last year’s modest efforts and it would no surprise to see him improve now handicapping. Grey Destiny has been in fine form this year, winning three times, though looks high enough in the weights now after scoring at Wolverhampton. Javelin went close at Kempton in November but GARTH ROCKETT scored over track and trip in the same month and ran well again at Chelmsford last time. Winning partner Cieren Fallon is back on board today and his allowance should see Mike Murphy’s charge bang there at the finish. Wilson won here in December but is hard to predict while Global Exceed has something to prove over the distance having done his winning so far over shorter.
