It could pay to stick with LOVES DESTINATION in her current form. She bids for a hat-trick after victories at Sandown and then Plumpton a couple of days ago where David Noonan could afford to ease her down in the closing stages. Riddlestown arrives on the back of last week's course and distance success and should go well with an amateur's allowance reducing a penalty while Clara Peggotty ran well at an earlier meeting here when runner-up to Definitely Better. Warsaw Pact was still in contention when falling at Warwick last time and Pret A Thou won off a higher mark over fences last month.
