Verdict

Verdict

DUKE OF LORRAINE confirmed the promise of his 1400m debut by finishing a close-up third last time in a similar contest and a similar performance should suffice against this opposition. CRIMSON RANGER improved to finish third in a 2yo maiden over this trip and should be competitive with further progress on the cards. VIXENINTHEVINEYARD has been costly to follow but has form and experience to trouble the 2yo principals. ECHO OF THE WILD, GUS ON THE BUS and UNCLE BOB have shown enough to earn a cheque.

Top Tip: Vixeninthevineyard (2)
Watch out for: Crimson Ranger (4)
