Duff drops back to six furlongs at Lingfield Eddie Lynam is hoping Duff can add to his two previous Listed wins when the five-year-old gelding drops back to six furlongs at Lingfield tomorrow. The County Meath trainer is acting on the advice of Kevin Manning by moving the son of Spinning World back down from his previous specialist distance of seven furlongs. Lynam believes it is a chance worth taking in the Better Prices, Bigger Wins At ladbrokes.com Golden Rose Stakes saying, 'We are just taking a chance on the trip.' 'Kevin recommended after he rode him the last day to give him a try over six one day so that's what we're doing. We're just going to see if six suits him. I've always thought he was a specialist seven-furlong horse.' 'He trains on the surface every day so I don't expect that to be a problem, and he usually runs well in England. He won in York last year, was just touched off at Doncaster and ran a very good race in the Challenge Stakes at Newmarket the last day. If six does suit him, we're laughing!' Duff has not tackled six furlongs since his juvenile season and, in addition to trail-blazing in the City Of York Stakes last year, tasted further Listed race success by also making all in the Platinum Stakes at Cork this August. A maximum field of 12 has been declared for the Listed contest including War Officer, Ceremonial Jade, Chief Editor, Prohibit, Swiss France, German raider Smarten Die and last year's winner Maltese Falcon.
