SAFE DESTINATION was below form on his final 2 starts last season, but he returns with his yard going well so is worth another chance from only 2 lb above his last winning mark. Camarrate isn't taken lightly, though, following his encouraging chasing debut at this course, with last year's winner of this race Fern Hill also in the mix.
