All five career wins have been over today's trip, which is a big plus and he comes into this on a mark 2lb higher than the best of those at Epsom in June and also in-form from success at Newcastle last time. Will be tough to beat.
3lb higher than when scoring at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) for Richard Rowe last season. Makes debut for this local yard today and could go well, though a market check is advised.
Last of four career wins was in June 2014 and he has only really threatened to add to that on a couple of occasions since. Nonetheless, he is the highest rated horse in the field here and ought to be capable of going very close at these weights.
Has been on marks below his last handicap win for several starts now without being capable of bagging another, so now tries this grade. Several others make more appeal.
5lb higher than when scoring at Ayr last July and was thrashed from 1lb higher than this in two subsequent runs. Has run well in a claimer before today and ought to be very competitive again.
Wolverhampton maiden auction winner (7f) who has had three previous attempts in claimers, doing best when beaten just a head into third at Lingfield last time out. Should be capable of at least making the frame.
On the downgrade for the past year with few signs of halting the slide. Will need to do better than previous try in a claimer over C&D to have any hope and very much up against it.
Well beaten on all starts in maidens and a handicap and now switched to this level. Not easy to fancy against the class of some in the field.
Forecasts
Joey's Destiny (10/11), Fingal's Cave (3/1), Aqua Libre (8/1), Victoire De Lyphar (12/1), Secret Glance (14/1), Jubilee Brig (16/1), Llewellyn (25/1), Slave To Freedom (150/1)
JOEY'S DESTINY is weighted to have his best chance of success in almost three years and today can be the day that he finally ends the drought. Fingal's Cave is an in-form rival who is wrong at the weights but is nonetheless feared. Aqua Libre and Victoire De Lyphar are others of interest.
