Tilsworth Glenboy was an emphatic winner last time out but given that so far his profile has been a little inconsistent it's not certain he'll follow up under 13lb extra despite ground conditions being ideal. Mark Twain was only just held from 1lb higher in the handicap last time but that was over further and he seemed to be staying on so the step down in trip isn't an obvious plus. This time then the vote goes to hat-trick hunting DESTINY BLUE, who is looking progressive, open to a bit more improvement and won well enough last time to suggest he should win from this revised mark.
