Mark Johnston's LOVE DESTINY has to concede weight to all but his debut form leaves him with little improvement to find at this level. His subsequent defeat came over an inadequate trip and he should account for Mitty's Smile who has not progressed since scoring at WIndsor. Miss Thoughtful had a couple of these behind when taking a poor race in a slow time at Lingfield and a bigger threat may come from Silver Samurai. Marco Botti's charge bumped into a useful pair on his debut and can be expected to come on for the run.
