Duty Calls won over track and trip in March and was beaten only a neck back here on last month’s reappearance. But collateral form gives GOLD DES BOIS (NAP) the edge on his second here in October and he’s also back on a winning mark with Brian Hughes taking over the reins. Traprain Law shares ownership with the selection having placed at Ayr on his chasing debut while Ganapathi gets a change of headgear after a better effort at Catterick.
