True Destiny was only beaten a head at Kempton when last competing at this level but YELLOW TIGER also drops in class. The latter struggled at Sandown on last month’s comeback but finished runner-up in a tougher handicap over track and trip when last on this surface and can race off a slightly lower mark today. Gold Arch goes well here having won over 1m6f and Stagiaire was successful over the same distance here in June, though in a lower grade and is 9lb higher. Lord Lamington has won over hurdles since last seen on the Flat and could go well.
