The weaker of the two divisions can go to norther raider
KNOCKOPUT BLOW, who showed a willing attitude to win over what was possibly an inadequate trip last here last month. That experience of this surface is a big positive and, given the way he powered home in the latter stages of that race, his 4lb penalty might not be enough to peg him back when in full stride over this additional furlong.
Sergio Leone is also going the right way and looks the biggest threat from those with experience, whereas the betting will be informative around the likes of
Bakht Khan and the well-bred newcomer
Fleeting Steps, who complete the shortlist on this occasion.
- Knockout Blow
- Sergio Leone
- Bakht Khan
