In depth

Verdict

DUKE OF WASPINGTON (NAP) was a beaten market leader here last week but was only a length and a half behind the winner, If anything, this looks a slightly easier assignment and previous performances here over the winter and early spring months make him the one to beat off an unchanged mark. Lightly-raced for one of his age, he may also have further progression to offer. Schoolboy Error looks better suited by this trip as demonstrated by an improved showing here last month when landing a fair handicap and rates a danger after only being raised 3lb. Catchy Lass is hard to catch right but all four career successes have come here and she'd be a contender if on a going day. Time For Mabel has each-way claims as he wasn't beaten far by Schoolboy Error here latest.
