      Verdict

      The step up to 1m2f has to be a concern for supporters of likely favourite Rockfast. Though placed in both starts so far at Lingfield, his two winning siblings didn't stay beyond a mile and he weakened close home over that trip last time. DUKE STREET has plenty of stamina in his pedigree and is fancied to make a winning start for Mark Johnston, though Qatar Falcon did better over this trip last time and should also be thereabouts while Giovanni Di Bicci is eased in grade.
