Verdict
DUCHESS has filled second place on both starts since springing a surprise at Southwell in January and she is more than capable of returning to winning ways on this occasion. Yquem's last couple of efforts in defeat at Dundalk suggest that she could play a big role in this company. The rest all have questions to answer, but Busby and Violeta are the pick of them.
Expert View Verdict
Duchess has never won from a mark this higher but she's in fine form, winning three starts back and finishing runner-up the last twice. She should again go well but there's surely a bigger effort yet in TUPERO, who was too keen and didn't stay when upped to 16f on his handicap debut at the course last time. He'd shown promise in qualifying runs, having started out in France, and a mark of 55 is surely not the ceiling of his ability. The filly Yquem has found her form of late at Dundalk and is a fascinating contender from Ireland, with the longer trip likely in her favour.
