DUKE OF YORKSHIRE was successful on his seasonal re-appearance in 2016 and regularly ran in amateur rider events for the rest of the season. The selection won a similar race to this on the AW at Wolverhampton off a 3lb lower mark in August and can claim a third victory under today's rival in this competitive looking contest. Royal Flag finished runner-up at Newcastle last month and is likely to have a fitness edge on a number of his rivals here while his jockey has made a good start to his career with a 20% strike-rate (3/15) on the Flat. Of the remainder The Ducking Stool regularly runs well under today's jockey and can do so again here while Deep Resolve has a top jockey in these amateur races booked to ride here.
