DEATH DUTY was far from faultless in his jumping on chase bow at Tipperary this month but class was the order of the day and it got him through. He may improve his fencing for that experience and the drop in trip here is not a major concern given he has plenty pace. He can make it two from two and confirm his promise in this sphere. Despite falling on his last start, Woodland Opera is the one expected to take advantage if the likely favourite encounters any issues, with his win here in April representing solid form. Tout Est Permis made a striking chase bow recently and, with allowances, the four-year-old has his chance.
