Follow The Money: Duke being backed to be king of Brighton

The Follow The Money team have reviewed the markets to come up with one selections each from this afternoon's meetings at Brighton, Newcastle and Nottingham...


Today's first selection comes from Nottingham at 14:50 where Laudation has been well supported from 8.25n/a in to 6.611/2. This colt showed promise in maidens on the all-weather but put in a good performance on his first turf start, finishing second at Yarmouth. His trainer William Jarvis reaches for the first time visor today and if that has a positive effect then the selection must go very close.

Our second back selection today arrives in the form of Highland Duke in the 16:10 at Brighton, who has been backed from a high of 2.747/4 in to 2.021/1. The Clive Cox trained four-year-old is having his second run of the season after a promising second earlier this month, narrowly failing to take advantage of a good tactical ride. Highland Duke comes here only 2lbs higher and with conditions to suit, he would not need much more to take this today.

We head North to Newcastle for today's negative where Assembly has been on the drift all morning in the 5f Maiden Stakes at 14:30, currently trading at 2.35/4 from an early 1.738/11. This William Haggas-trained runner has been disappointing on his two starts to date, firstly when down the field at Newmarket on debut before being beaten just over six lengths into third at Beverley last week, and comes here hoping to find easier pickings in this relatively weak race. However although bred for the trip he has to prove the drop in distance will suit and with his two main market rivals contracting in price it may not be a case of third time lucky.
