Verdict
DUKE OF DESTINY got off the mark when winning his handicap debut over 7f at this track in August. Breeding suggests he'll be even better over today's longer trip and Ed Walker's charge is taken to follow up. Derfenna Art and Whinging Willie are closely matched on latest running over C&D and The New Black is another with claims off his current mark. Whispering Warrior is worth a second glance in the betting on his first start since May and debut for a new yard while Holy Roman Warrior has joined Kevin Ryan but has yet to show any improvement for his tumble down the weights.
