Verdict
DUKEMAN, who cost 500,000gns as a yearling, won twice in the UK for the Crisfords including on Tapeta at Newcastle and Denis Hogan may have picked up a bargain at 7,000gns at Tatts Autumn Sales. Tyson Fury, a dual winner in the UK, made a very encouraging debut for Hogan a fortnight ago. Benavente scored over a mile here in November then just failed to concede 9lb to Fairytale Princess over this trip a fortnight later and can reverse places with the winner. Final Check has no problems with the trip but is 4lb out of the handicap while Migdam has been racing over a mile but goes well on the surface. Satono Chevalier returned after a long break to run well earlier this month and completed a double in February so looks a threat.
