In a wide open handicap we take DUELLIST to get on top for an on-form partnership with Dominium given a chance off this mark first time in a handicap while Admiral Cochrane should be in the mix. The selection has been running well since taking to handicap company with limited returns and althoughgoing up in the weights despite defeat last time looks the one to beat with Frankie Dettori partnering the Mark Johnston trained runner and this pair had plenty of success here on Wednesday night. Dominium has had just the two starts and improved on an encouraging debut to score here on the latest of those. He promised there was more to come that day and he seems fairly treated off a mark of 77. Admiral Cochrane won back to back races over this trip before a slightly disappointing run off this rating last time and after that he just has something to prove. Ryan Moore is booked to Gallant Eagle and after winning on his last juvenile start it's safe to assume connections are expecting a big run on his return. Peadar Miguel also won his last start but that was in a maiden and although he should be competitive he is not a standout so in a tight race we side with trainer and jockey form in Duellist.
