Redcar Racing Tips: Dukeman can strike at 15/8

NAP

Redcar - 16:36 - Back Dukeman

Dukeman cost 500,000 guineas as a yearling but didn't make his debut until halfway through last season. He built on the promise of his debut when running out a convincing winner at Newcastle in September, beating a useful type with something in hand, and he ran creditably under a penalty upped to a mile and a quarter at Epsom on his final start. He is just the type to progress further as a four-year-old and makes plenty of appeal on his handicap debut up against more exposed rivals.

Redcar - 15:25 - Back Grandad Bob

Grandad Bob shaped with promise on his first two starts prior to disappointing on his final start last season, but he got back on track after six months off and on his handicap debut at Catterick last month, beaten only by one who showed much improved form after a gelding operation. The ground will be quicker today but he is clearly on a good mark and he may yet have more to offer after just four starts.
