In depth

Verdict

Quel Destin has a very long absence to overcome but has always been campaigned at a high level. However, Paul Nicholls also runs Milan Bridge, who was 3-5 over hurdles and has placed in a point. Enemenemynemo is still a maiden and One For You didn’t show much on his fencing bow but ARIZONA CARDINAL jumped well when defying top weight at Bangor last month and Finn Lambert’s claim is a massive bonus this time.
