Penny Dropped With Dovils Duel

After proving extremely difficult earlier in the season, Dovils Duel has finally grown up and has taken advantage of a lenient handicap mark to rack up two successes in recent weeks. With Andrea back on board in a handicap, he settled in the early stages before staying on strongly to finish second in a competitive Class Five Nursery at Nottingham. Dropped into Class 6 company at Leicester a week later, he travelled strongly and despite wandering in the closing stages, he was always doing enough to record his first victory. Raised five pounds to 65, he was still eligible for Class 6 company and we took him to Lingfield, where he was made favourite for a big-field nursery. Again he travelled strongly but this time he powered clear inside the final furlong, looking much more professional. He has always worked extremely well and we hope he will continue to progress this autumn and make up into a lovely three year old.
