BLOOD DESTINY tends to operate at a higher level and, though he hasn’t shown much in handicaps previously, his class should count for plenty in a race of this nature. He gets the vote, with Le Nez Creux feared most after an encouraging stable debut at Ayr and Drumgill also respected from a good mark.

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: Runcok could be expected to race prominently. Of those in the front half of the betting forecast, Itsalladream might be well positioned in a slowly run affair: Of the better-fancied horses, Le Nez Creux is most likely to be ridden furthest from the pace.
Individual Price Hint: Itsalladream has traded at 50% or less of Betfair SP 4 times on its last 5 starts: War Correspondent traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 5 starts.
