Verdict
ROYAL DUKE had an excuse when a beaten favourite here last time and is given another chance to show his mark is workable. Fellow 3-y-o Profiteer has come good this autumn and is feared most despite this being a different test to the one he's encountered at Pontefract the last twice. Thunderstorm Katie is also shortlisted after her promising first run for Jim Goldie.

VerdictThriving this autumn, winning back to back over 5f at Pontefract (heavy) last month. A 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent him making a bold bid for the hat-trick. - 9. Thunderstorm KatieJ: Amie WaughT: Jim GoldieF: 047494
