FRENCH DUKE proved more professional in a first-time hood and duly confirmed earlier promise when opening his account at Goodwood (12f) 38 days ago. He looks the type who could go on progressing and is selected to come out on top again. The William Haggas trained-pair Solomon and The Reverend head the dangers, with another last-time-out winner Goodwood Odyssey another in the mix.
