Verdict

Destroyer has won at a higher level around here but that was a long time ago. Little Jo has managed to win seven races and invariably goes well at this level so should get into contention. LENNY'S SPIRIT (NAP) completed a double in Class 6 handicaps before running well from his revised mark at Epsom and his rider's claim can help him back into the winner's enclosure. Poet's Dawn hasn't won a race since last spring and though running well has gone back up in the weights without winning. Strangerontheshore landed a Leicester handicap but never got into contention at Carlisle next time.
