Miss Sligo won a division of this last year but it could pay to stick with DESTINADO. The latter justified favouritism when returning a cosy winner dropped down to this grade at Wolverhampton and can confirm running with Harmonious despite the worse terms. The latter has yet to win in 30 previous attempts while Hammy End is another with something to find with the selection and King Athelstan and Cliffs Of Malta filled the places over 1m3f here last month.
