Verdict
DUCAL has now two of his three starts for Mike Murphy and both came over C&D. He's beaten Dubarshi, Intercept and Street Power in the process and there may be more left in the tank off only a 3lb higher mark. Konstantin ended last year with a double over today's trip but he's 6lb higher on his first outing since August and Aldermoor is a more recent winner having scored twice over shorter trips at Lingfield this year. The Guru Of Gloom can figure if fully primed for his return and Tevez also has the ability to land this if he's in the mood.
