It's noteworthy that Alistair Whillans saw fit to spend £35,000 on Cracking Destiny, while it's impossible to knock the fine fences strike-rate (5-12) of the Rose Dobbin-trained Honourable Gent. However, assuming that the ground conditions don't deteriorate further (beyond good to soft) a confident shout goes up for the five-timer seeking LUCKY ROBIN. Brian Ellison's seven-year-old has been given a short break since winning at Perth in September, and a subsequent 5lb weights rise looks lenient with that form franked since at Carlisle by the third-placed horse Le Frank.
- Lucky Robin
- Cracking Destiny
