Verdict
Duke Of Bronte is back with Rod Millman having finished well beaten in a Grade 1 at Aintree in his final start for Dan Skelton. He makes more appeal than Geni De La Cour but Toronto looks a threat having beaten the odds-on Harlem Soul at Wincanton when the first two pulled a long way clear. GREYSTOKE is getting 12lb from the three previous winners thanks to his weight-for-age allowance. If he settles better than at Hereford, he shouldn’t be far away with this tight track likely to suit.
