Duke Of North escapes a penalty for winning an apprentices’ race at Salisbury a week ago and should go well. Black Caesar and Etaad have been beaten off higher marks since winning earlier this year but Flying Fantasy has looked an improved four-year-old winning two of his last three starts, both at Wolverhampton. Severus is hard to assess on his first start for new connections though won six times when trained in Germany while Lulani ran well on her reappearance at Nottingham when beaten only a length in this grade. But MYSTIC JADE drops down in class after placing on the Polytrack here on her first start since 2014 and James Tate’s filly may come out best.
