A few of these have serious questions to answer over their stamina, which will play to the strengths of the proven stayers such as The Lock Master and Rembrandt, who are both consistent enough to merit consideration in this company. However, a chance is taken that LIFE KNOWLEDGE can rise to the challenge and brush aside a 5lb rise for winning at Newcastle when he was last out on the Flat. His capable rider takes a hefty 7lb off his back, which can be a very decisive factor if the ground takes a turn. That scenario would suite Moon Over Rio, who does have a bit to find but has snippets of form which suggest she could represent good value to make the frame at least.
