DUKE STREET was expected to appreciate the 1m6f when sent off odds-on at Wolverhampton last week and duly obliged by eight lengths. There could be even more to come over this extra distance and he is preferred to Guising. The latter showed signs of a resurgence when second over track and trip last time and My Destination posted a much better effort at Wolverhampton on his latest start over 1m6f. Atalan won over a shorter trip here in May but faded badly under Richard Hughes on his latest start at Nottingham.
