Previous course and distance winner DUKE OF DECEPTION (1) finished second under similar conditions here 31 days ago. Only 2lb higher and there are plenty of reasons to be positive. IMPATIENT (2) was still in contention when falling at Southwell last month. Earlier Ffos Las win (3m1/4f) marked him out as a staying handicap chaser of promise. Danger. SAFE DESTINATION (4) finished first or second in each of six starts this season. Beaten 9.5L from this career-high mark most recently. Might be able to find further improvement. GOOD WORK (3) is an infrequent winner. Holds place claims.
