Verdict

It could be worth chancing CRACKING DESTINY, who usually plies his trade in higher-grade handicaps than this and he's now 6 lb below his last winning mark. Imac Wood is feared most ahead of Cartonne and Abingworth, both of whom are returning from breaks. Mix of Clover did the job well at Bangor last month but he's by no means certain to reproduce that form.
