Often an informative maiden won by the likes of Gleneagles and City of Troy. DORSET shaped like a useful prospect when pushing his better-fancied stablemate close over C&D this month and is fancied to go one better. Unbreakable Duke fared best of the newcomers when third at Fairyhouse 2 weeks ago and rates the main threat. Benvenuto Cellini heads a clutch of interesting newcomers.
