DUCE BIGALOW arrives on the back of an encouraging return and may still have more to offer as a stayer after just 3 starts at this trip. Just For One is likely to prove the main danger if building on his recent comeback and staying 3m as well as his pedigree suggests, while Haveanothertry and Run For The Border are also respected.
