      Verdict

      The two in-form three-year-old's can dominate this staying contest with preference for DUKINTA here. Hugo Palmer's charge appeared to appreciate the switch to handicaps and visor last time out and shaped as if this step up in trip would prove no inconvenience to her here. Piedita has been successful on her last two starts including at Lingfield recently and can claim second under her 6lb penalty while of the older horses Taper Tantrum has been running well of late and hails from a stable with a 20% strike-rate (5/25) in recent weeks.
