Verdict

DUKE COSIMO looked like winning at Newcastle last week (6f), but for probably hitting the front a fraction earlier than ideal (had travelled well throughout), and was caught deep inside the final furlong by the progressive Tim Easterby-trained Supaulette. Turned out quickly from a most attractive mark, he is strongly fancied to make amends at a track where he's won previously (in 2013) for former trainer Sir Michael Stoute. An each-way alternative is the likely pace-setter Chica De La Noche.
