Verdict

A couple of these stand out on today's terms. Destiny's Gold has been threatening to get his head in front and went close at Kempton last month but the four-year-old JALINGO may just edge this. John Ferguson's charge was beaten only a nose by subsequent handicap winner Ustica at Uttoxeter last time and can open his account over hurdles in this. The remainder have plenty to find at the weights, including Miss Fortywinks, though Amaze is less exposed and finished closer at Perth last time.
