Kings Destiny is out to gain reward for his consistency with victory in the totesport.com November Handicap at Doncaster on Saturday.

The three-year-old, trained by Michael Jarvis, has yet to finish out of the first four in 10 career starts, winning three times and finishing second on four occasions.

He will also try to continue the good recent record of horses of his age group, who have been successful three years out of the last five.

"He will love the ground and the trip, and the track ought to suit," said Jarvis' assistant Roger Varian.

"The draw (13) could be better, it could be worse.

"He's a very consistent horse. It's always a pleasure to have horses like that in the yard, who always do their best.

"He's genuine, consistent and improving I think."

The only other three-year-old in the line-up is Stormy Weather and his trainer Howard Johnson is hoping to help Frederik Tylicki clinch the apprentice title.

Tylicki, attached to Richard Fahey's stable, has been involved in a closely-fought duel with David Probert in the race for the championship.

"Our horse has got a good draw (two) and has got the best jockey on him in the country. He's a great lad and I love him to bits," said the County Durham trainer.

Stormy Weather, trained in France last year, was third to Opinion Poll on his British debut at Haydock in May but had a pipe-opener over hurdles at Aintree two weeks ago when only beaten a head.

"He was unlucky the other day over jumps. He nearly won but they went too slow. He wants a good gallop and he likes soft ground," Johnson added.

Ella, owned and bred by Guy Reed, bids to emulate her dam Flossy, who captured the feature race on the last day of the turf Flat season in 1999.

"It would be nice for mother and daughter to win the same race," said trainer Alan Swinbank.

"She wants soft ground, she's not got many miles on the clock, she's fresh and she's well. It's a competitive contest but let's hope she can run a good race."

Swinbank also runs Merchant Of Dubai, who was highly-tried in the Group Three St Simon Stakes at Newbury last month.

"He was probably outclassed last time at Newbury, but he's come out of the race good enough," the North Yorkshire trainer went on.

Tastahil was second in the St Simon behind stablemate High Heeled and was third in this race last year, but he is lumbered with top weight of 9st 11lb.

"Obviously he's got a big task off top weight. He's been lightly-raced this year, it's going to be hard, but he's a class horse," said trainer Barry Hills' son and assistant Charlie.

"He will like the ground so we will see how we get on."

Walter Swinburn has had this race in mind for Hevelius for some time.

The four-year-old was given a break over the summer and returned after three months off to finish second in a mile-and-a-half handicap at Newmarket three weeks ago.

"We've been happy with him for a little while now and his reappearance after a break was a good one," said the Tring trainer.

"This has been the target for a while. The ground won't be a problem, it will be a question of whether he's good enough."

Siberian Tiger, formerly with Mick Channon, bids to take the prize to Ireland for trainer Tony Martin.

The sole Irish challenger has been a regular visitor back to these shores this year, running at Royal Ascot and in the Ebor at York. He was a respectable sixth to Opinion Poll in a mile-and-a-half handicap at Ascot last month.

"Hopefully he'll run OK. He should get through the ground OK and he seems in good form," said the County Meath handler.
