Noble Duty showed plenty of ability in two runs last season and can land this tough looking race from Papality and Top The Charts. This son of Dubai Millennium contested two hot maidens at Newbury and York and wasn't beaten far. The winmners of both of those contests have three figure ratings and so the form is rock solid and he will be hard to beat if fit for his return to the racetrack. Papality also took on some strong opposition last term and ran with credit on her return when chasing home Aunt Julia at Newbury. She should improve for that effort and should reach the places again. Meanwhile Top The Charts is a most consistent type and ran another solid race when second to Climate Change over course and distance last month. Fearless Spirit is another to note in a wide open affair, but strictly speaking Noble Duty should be rated at about a hundred and that should be good enough to land a race of this type.
