Verdict
Not too many in this are in good form and with DANISH DUKE not having to shoulder a penalty for his Thirsk win he looks well treated at the weights here with his stable continuing to produce winners. Pushkin Museum is consistent although his attitude in a finish is questionable and it may be that Specialv if she gets away on terms and Champagne Bob are the duo to present the biggest challenge to the likely short-priced favourite.
