Duke Of Perth has ran well the last twice but is now 13lb higher than when scoring at Bath last month. But the handicapper has yet to get to grips with PLUTOCRACY as the latter scored with plenty in hand at Leicester back in May. He's taken to make a winning return despite a 7lb higher mark. Royal Signaller has to be forgiven a poor effort in much better company last time but may well figure at this level while Lady Pimpernel could also get involved, though she's not easy to win with.
