Duo Leoni lost all chance when missing the break when tried over a mile last time and, provided he breaks all right here, Ralph Beckett's filly should be too good for her rivals, the best of whom are Business Matters and Chantry Falls. The last mentioned has shown his best form over today's trip and is entitled to be thereabouts along with Business Matters, who seemed not to appreciate the drop to six furlongs at Windsor last time. However, she has 13lbs to find with the selection on official BHB ratings. Duo Leoni has shown a consistent level of form in similar contests over this trip and her latest effort over a mile is probably best ignored. Mickledor, Lieuday, Danger Bird, Ruby Anniversary and Blunham are all worthy of a mention and are likely to be fighting out the minor honours but Duo Leoni has solid claims and will be tough to beat.
