Formscan - DUCHESS has filled second place on both starts since springing a surprise at Southwell in January and she is more than capable of returning to winning ways on this occasion. Yquem's last couple of efforts in defeat at Dundalk suggest that she could play a big role in this company. The rest all have questions to answer, but Busby and Violeta are the pick of them.
