Verdict
DUAL IDENTITY drops back down in class and returns to his winning trip having finished third in the Cambridgeshire over 1m1f here last month. Still improving, Bill Knight’s charge can land this with a similar effort. Turntable won nicely over a shorter trip at the track last month but is 5lb higher while Frantanck is penalised for winning over a mile in soft going at Windsor. Bad Company also looks high enough in the weights while Outside World and Piecederesistance have only won lower grade contests this year.
