Verdict
Plenty have chances but GOLDEN DUKE is worthy of a closer look having not been knocked about once his chance had gone on his reappearance at Ripon. Jungle Run was probably a false price at Kempton last month but he can’t be held responsible for that despite two impressive victories at Chelmsford City and Wolverhampton. Crypto Quest ran encouragingly on his handicap debut at Doncaster and there are races to be won with him. Variety Island was just behind on that occasion and the market is likely to see things differently here. Final Account produced his best run of 2021 on his first outing and he’s been gelded over the winter.
