Mid-division, driven to chase leaders 2f out, ridden and headway on outside over 1f out, led narrowly inside final furlong, stayed on well towards finish
MORNING DUEL is an unexposed three-year-old making his handicap debut in a winnable race, so gets the vote to put a recent modest effort at Thirsk behind him. Salam Zayed looks next best with his latest effort also easy to forgive, and Zafaranah is handicapped to play a part as well, accepting that she is a little better on Tapeta than turf.
