DUCHRAY made a winning debut over the minimum trip at Pontefract. A half-brother to stablemate Red Mirage, who won on the all-weather last week, the Johnstons’ colt can defy a penalty. Strength 'n Honour started slowly at Leicester on his first outing and can finish closer today while Bishop's Glory is related to a host of winners including the Group 3 winner Euphrasia. Sol Cayo is another related to several winners but Absolutelyflawless, a half-brother to the Flying Childers winner Beacon, makes most appeal of the newcomers.
