Connections were expecting an opening mark of 130-135 for DUKE DEBARRY after he beat a subsequent winner at Catterick. The Spring Nationals were an immediate target and they will be glad he has got into this one on 125. Bishops Road may do more now his yard are in better form and having been dropped in grade, whilst Little Bruce is an honest sort whose jumping alone makes him hard to leave out of calculations.
