In depth
Verdict
The step up to a mile for Duroob can prove to be ideal in this company and he narrowly edges the vote over William Tell, who ran a blinder behind a very well regarded type last week and will surely go down fighting if repeating the effort today. Similar comments apply to Hoh My Darling, who is shaping up well and it will be interesting to see if her connections can get another run into her before the end of the season, as she qualifies for a handicap mark after this. A mention also has to be passed on for Woodbury Lane, whose connections need no introduction. However, she is a far less precocious type than others to have made their debuts in the Royal Blue colours in the last few weeks and, considering the fact that she is a January foal that is so far unraced, there has to be the suspicion that she has been a late developer and this might not be the time to catch her. Therefore, with an improving profile and the likelihood of a fair price being available, Duroob looks the safest bet in a race that is full of pitfalls. Watch the market before getting heavily involved.
