In depth
Verdict
El Duque is interesting as he was due to make his hurdling debut at Uttoxeter yesterday so it will be fascinating to see if Bill Turner chooses to turn his charge out in different disciplines on successive days. He has a definite form chance. Luv U could be anything on Turf but is certainly a leading player on all-weather exploits but THE REEL WAY could be the one. A disappointment last time when well-supported, her first run of the campaign when third at Brighton when not receiving a clear passage suggests a modest handicap such as this is within her compass.
