Verdict

Those with hurdles experience don't set the bar too high so MORTIMER DUKE, who won't lack for pace if his pedigree is any guide, selected to make a winning debut. Two Become One was no star in points but has to command respect given the yard she;s joined, with Deplama another to consider.

  1. MORTIMER DUKE
  2. TWO BECOME ONE (IRE)
  3. DEPALMA (IRE)
