Race preview
CRACKING DESTINY is effective at this course and, off just 5lb higher than his comfortable C&D success from 19 days ago, he is a strong candidate to follow up, despite this being a slightly deeper race. Sir Tivo is another that has shown a decent level of form here and commands respect, especially as the in-form Sean Bowen is back in the saddle. Blueberry Wine is also taken seriously off an 8lb higher mark than last month's Aintree success.
