Verdict

DUAL IDENTITY bolted up over 10f here last season and showed enough to be positive about on his return at Epsom to think he cam resume winning ways at the chief expense of Crack Shot and Classic, who had little between them when meeting at Newbury last season and appeal as the types to progress into top-level handicappers this year.
