Verdict

Well-bred DUKE'S COMMAND is unexposed over this sort of distance and he gets the vote in a competitive finale. Whitcombe Rockstar is well-treated if first time cheekpieces have the desired effect, while both 3-y-o handicap debutants make appeal, particularly Hard Endeavour, who has some handy form in turf maidens earlier this year.
