Verdict
GREY DESTINY (NAP) has really found his form over the track and trip, following a short-head defeat with a double, the latest in better company. He's up another 4lb but doesn't look finished yet and a hat-trick beckons. Haraz has been ultra-consistent and deserves a change of luck though he's yet to win in 33 starts which tempers enthusiasm. Misu Pete was caught right on the line over the trip in an amateurs' race at Chelmsford and should make a bold bid while Dark Alliance has gradually dropped to a mark he should be capable of winning from soon. El Torito is another gradually dropping to a winnable mark.
