Sparkling Duke
Selected at:
11/4
Sparkling Duke is one of three last time out winners in this field but the fact that his success came over course and distance in heavy ground makes him stand out. Kayley Woollacott’s gelding won with plenty in hand and should go close off a 7lb higher mark here.

Verdict
Cases can be made for most of these. SLIM MARVEL found 2m3f too sharp a test on her stable debut and that was also a Class 3 handicap.
