Tough to rule out any of the sextet but preference is for CRACKING DESTINY, who confirmed this season's previous promise when scoring over C&D earlier this month and can maintain his unbeaten record at this venue. Sir Tivo has returned better than ever this term, so he could be the one to give the selection most to think about, with Feel The Pinch rounding off the shortlist.
