Verdict

A switch to fibresand sparked one-time smart sprinter DUKE OF FIRENZE back to form here recently. He had four of these rivals behind him on that occasion and is taken to confirm his superiority with good-value 7 lb claimer Laura Pearson once again doing the steering. Samovar could be the one to give him most to do.

  1. DUKE OF FIRENZE
  2. SAMOVAR
  3. DARK SHOT
