Verdict
Duncan Of Scotland was beaten only a head at Leopardstown recently. He scored over track and trip in May but finished behind Goninodaethat on his latest visit to this venue. The latter has been well beaten since but Metisian opened his account in a lower grade at Doncaster last time and is 6lb higher today. SPECIALV (NAP) never threatened when third here a week ago but Brian Ellison’s course and distance winner is back on a winning mark and looks set to make a bold bid in this.
