Choice Of Destiny is going the wrong way with a couple of poor efforts since suffering a narrow-margin defeat on her debut but Masterpaver can be forgiven for not taking to the Fibresand last time and went close at Kempton before that. He should be in the firing-line but a chance is taken on JAYEFF HERRING. The latter will need to step up on his latest fourth over 7f, although breeding suggests middle-distances will bring out the best in him and he's just preferred to a similar type in Blossom Lane. John Gosden's charge is stepping up from a mile and makes more appeal than Sarlat, never in contention despite finishing runner-up here last month.
