In depth
Verdict
Gabriel's Getaway and Awaythelad were both engaged in the 5.20 at Ffos Las yesterday. Better was expected from DUKE OF ROCKINGHAM at Newbury a little under a year ago as he has a superb pedigree for jumping. Hopefully, a wind operation will have helped cure any problems and he can start making up for lost time here. The Texan has placed in a couple of points and Tedwin Hills and Red Windsor are newcomers to note.
