French Duke arrives at Newbury on a progressive profile that makes his raw rating of 105 look a potentially flattering snapshot of what is still an improving performer, and over fourteen furlongs on good ground he has every chance of outrunning those figures. Furthur heads the field on a rating of 110 and is narrowly ahead of Roaring Legend on 106, with Real Dream on 104 also meriting respect as the principal dangers, yet a horse still finding its feet at this level can be a more potent proposition than a rival who may already be at the top of his curve. The confidence here is measured rather than absolute, but the trajectory points clearly in one direction, and the selection is French Duke.
