Just as he did during the 2023/24 campaign, SAFE DESTINATION made a winning seasonal reappearance last season and the 7-y-o is taken to do the same again this time round. He may have most to fear from Hold Onto The Line, who hasn't fired in two starts for this yard but this step back up in trip could be just what the doctor ordered. Sean Og also enters calculations, along with multiple point winner Cosmic Blizzard and Upfordebate.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: Safe Destination might not get things all its own way near the head of affairs but shouldn’t be held back by that alone: The leaders will have to go harder than the predicted pace forecast if the hold-up horses such as Upfordebate are going to come into things.
Individual Price Hint: Everyday Champagne traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP and 25% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 5 starts: Monochromix has traded at 50% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 5 starts.
