Russian Rumour is very consistent but gets little respite from the handicapper as a consequence. Storm Chaser was third at Wetherby dropped to this trip but Destinado has no form over this far. HENRY THE FIFTH wasn’t seen to best effect at Yarmouth earlier this month but expect Molly Gunn to give him a more positive ride here and he gets the nod ahead of the disappointing Diamond Cutter and Master Grey.
