Jake's Destiny had Titus Mills behind when winning a classified race at Ascot but may struggle back in handicap company. Jo'Burg went close at Redcar last time and has claims along with his stablemate Classic Colori. Credit Swap will appreciate today's going more than Directorship and Wannabe King but a chance is taken on VAINGLORY. He's been competing in better company for most of the season including when a close-up fourth at York last time and, back on a winning mark, David Simcock's charge gets the vote.
