DUKE OF ORANGE (7) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at this track two starts back then scored by 0.8 lengths last time out over 6½f at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but he deserves plenty of thought. WILLIAM THE FIRST (3) returned from a lay-off a week ago when he was beaten 4.5 lengths into sixth over 6f at Fairview. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BYTHELITEOFTHEMOON (6) was far from disgraced when fourth last start over 6f at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. That followed a win at Fairview the start prior. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is right in contention. EYJAFJALLAJOKULL (2) returned from a lay-off five weeks ago when he was beaten 7 lengths into tenth over 6f at Fairview. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
