DUTIFUL SON was making his Polytrack debut on just his fourth start when landing a course and distance maiden in December and though he's been put up 8lb he looks better than this class and should complete the double. Rigolleto had been giving notice of an imminent victory before scoring here last month and now off the mark on the surface he should go well from just 3lb higher. Daring Dragon's only success came over 7f but he ran well enough over this track and trip last time to be given a chance. Warwick winner Marjong makes her all-weather surface debut and hasn't raced since October.
