Verdict

Some top stables represented here, Nicky Henderson runs Antinomy, Henrietta Knight Ice Bucket and Paul Nicholls Earth Moving, but we will side with another debutante and give the vote to Brendan Powell's Men Of Destiny. The market will of course provide an invaluable guide but Men Of Destiny does have a very nice pedigree, he is a Saddlers Well's colt out of a winning hurdler. The stable do like to win the odd bumper as well so he does have a lot in his favour. Antimony is an Anshan mare out of a bumper winner so has to be respected, while Ice Bucket is by Glacial Storm and Earth Moving is a half brother to winning hurdler Jack Fuller. All three could really be anything so we are taking a bit of a chance selecting Men Of Destiny, but so long as he doesn't drift alarmingly in the betting he does have as a good a claim as any and gets our tentative vote.
