Verdict

A select but competitive renewal in which Desert Destiny and Monsieur Bond look to be among the principal players. David Loder's charge was ultra-impressive at Newmarket earlier in the season before taking on the Classic generation later on. He was a tad disappointing on his return to British racing when finishing fifth in the Jersey Stakes but today is a drop in class and he should go well. Monsieur Bond is the apple of his trainers' eye and his Yorkshireman trainer has eyed this prize for a while with him. He holds Patsy's Double on their Chester meeting and that rival should have little chance of reversing form from her poor draw. Chic is the potential fly in the ointment now that she is dropped back to her favoured trip of seven furlongs . Sir Michael Stoute's charge is in receipt of all the allowances here and Wednesday's results proved that his stable are in form. Having considered all the options, we believe that Desert Destiny is the one to be with. He is an imposing type who may well have strengthened up from a break and he certainly has the right man on board today.
