Verdict

Our Destiny is given the nomination in this apprentice claiming stakes with Dundonald, Dancing King and Iamback put forward as the main dangers. The selection has the services of the very capable Sam Hitchcott and is in good form having won a Class H claiming stakes last time at Southwell when defeating Sea Ya Maite. He is upped in trip here but will not be inconvenienced by that and although this is slightly more difficult than his last win, he looks capable of scoring again. Dundonald has only ever won once and is a frustrating sort, but he has ability and is also aided by the services of Robert Miles so he can't be ruled out in this weak affair. Dancing King has to be respected as he has course form and is upped in trip having been well beaten on each of his last two runs over 7 furlongs. Iamback is the other worth a second look although she has only ever won once and the percentage call is to oppose her, even though that single win did come over course and distance. This is a race which will not take much winning and Our Destiny is nominated as the one to beat.
