Race preview
Quel Destin was disappointing on his return from a 189-day break, after undergoing wind surgery, at Ascot last month but he could take a big step forward with blinkers now fitted. However, CAN YOU CALL gets the vote after going close in this grade at Chepstow last time. The son of Passing Glance makes only his sixth chase start and could prove hard to beat, despite a 5lb rise. Last-time-out winner The Edgar Wallace is another to consider.
