CITY SELECTIONS Favourite backers are still to collect from DUKEDOM after being sent off the market leader on three of his four starts during his racing career. However, the son of Dubawi could find improvement on his all-weather debut with a first-time visor now applied and he appears to have found an ideal opportunity to break his maiden tag in this contest. Be Glorious commands respect after her latest C&D success but she could be vulnerable under a 7lb penalty, while the consistent Antiphon is unlikely to be far away. DUKEDOM
