Paul Nicholls: Mudlark Quel Destin a solid jumper and will relish Ascot conditions

• Mudlark Quel Destin the pick of my pair in 14:05

• Rare Middleton has potential and is off a nice weight here

• Dino Magic has done plenty but he'll improve for the run

14:05 - Cap du Mathan

He was largely consistent in his first season over fences, winning twice and finishing in the money several times and was probably over the top when he was below par on the final day of the season. I'm hoping he can progress now in handicaps although I can't be sure he will like the ground as testing as it is likely to be at Ascot.

14:05 - Quel Destin

Both Cap Du Mathan and Quel Destin are big, strong horses that usually come on for the run. The softer the ground the more it will suit Quel Destin who is a proper mudlark and had his palate cauterised in the summer.

He is tough and got off the mark over fences when we dropped him back to two miles on testing ground at Lingfield in January. He's a sound jumper, ran with credit on all three subsequent starts and will relish conditions at Ascot but he will come on for the run.

15:15 - Rare Middleton

A lightly raced type he has thrived since his summer holiday and is another who has had wind surgery. There is room for improvement in his jumping from last season and we have been working hard on his schooling at home.

Rare Middleton has plenty of potential and his mark of 117 gets him in here off a nice, light racing weight. He enjoyed a timely pipe opener last Sunday when winning a charity race at Wincanton ridden by Chloe Humphries.

16:15 - Dino Magic

He's an interesting prospect by Doctor Dino who goes nicely at home, has done plenty and is ready for his racecourse debut. It's hard to know if he wants ground as deep as he is likely to find at Ascot and like all our young bumper horses he will improve for the experience.
