The penny dropped with WANDSWORTH at Kempton last week where he ran out a seven-length winner of a maiden race. Roger Varian's charge is worth sticking with despite a penalty. Duke Of Grazeon was well beaten when second on his handicap debut in testing ground but better is expected from him, while Broughtons Charm may not have finished improving having won over 7f here last time. Duke Of Destiny was raised 5lb after going close over track and trip in October, though Kung Hei Fat Choy is back on a winning mark and finished closer at Wolverhampton on his latest start.
