I've taken a healthy slice of 2/1 about Duroble Man in the opener at Warwick. Alan King's former "talking horse" disappointed on debut behind Royal Irish Hussar (no disgrace in itself) but with hindsight I think he wasn't 100% straight that day, his "pipe-opener" on the flat a couple of weeks previous having been also woeful. He turned the form around with Town Mouse next time out at Kempton and that form is starting to get a decent look to it. Town Mouse won next time out at Huntingdon (admittedly a weak race) and the 3rd, Aldopicgros, went on to finish 2nd to Violet Dancer, who won the juvenile race at Sandown last Friday in pleasing fashion from some nice types. Today's race has some interesting newcomers (notably Mahican and Santo De Lune) and Jonjo's gelding Rayak will no doubt come on for his debut run, but Duroble Man looked pretty polished last time out and can give the 7lbs to his field today.
