Verdict

DUCAL was strongly fancied to get off the mark back in maiden company a fortnight ago and duly obliged over C&D. He can go on to better things now he's finally got his head in front. Quarrel has had just the two outings this season and went close at Yarmouth recently, while Chookie Royale has been threatening to get his head back in front on the turf of late and had Youhavecontrol behind at Newcastle earlier this month. Spin Cast and Blink Of An Eye make most appeal of the remainder.
