DUKE OF NORTH came good over track and trip last time under the minimum of urging. He can shrug off a 3lb rise and confirm running with third-placed Spinning Cobblers. The latter re-opposes on better terms but has subsequently disappointed over 7f here and Dawn Catcher looks a bigger threat off her current mark after a better effort last time. Spowarticus went close over track and trip on his penultimate start and Rigolleto has been placed off today's mark on a couple of occasions this year.
