Irish raider Don Franco gives the impression he’s an out-and-out stayer and this may be an insufficient test of stamina. More Than Luck was engaged yesterday at Uttoxeter but Bold Duke has possibilities if building on his third over a shorter trip at Worcester. Whos De Baby was second at Stratford when racing from well out of the handicap but the long-standing maiden is only getting 6lb from the improving Southwell winner MURRAY MOUNT so Henry Oliver’s charge is taken to follow up.
