C&D winner but not seen since a below-par seventh over C&D in September. Best watched unless the betting speaks in his favour.

Forecasts

Oriental Prince (8/11), Tomorrow Day (3/1), Jimmy Knocker (13/2), Yoshimi (9/1), Korroor (11/1), Giselles Izzy (12/1), Hurstwood (12/1), Sydney Bay (14/1), Badosa (14/1)

Verdict

A chance is taken on lightly-raced 4-y-o JIMMY KNOCKER building on a good handicap debut at Southwell a fortnight ago. Yoshimi is a more potent force over 7f but could still play a prominent role. Oriental Prince would also enter the reckoning if turning out again after Wednesday's victory here.
