Forecasts

Knight Commander (4/1), Christopher Robin (4/1), Level Of Intensity (5/1), Hahadi (11/2), Espressino (11/1), Russian Service (12/1), Fancy A Dance (12/1), Carpool (12/1), Head Lad (16/1), Solstalla (16/1), Never A Word (22/1), Kuiper Belt (25/1), Jawshan (25/1), If Karl's Berg Did (33/1), Pilansberg (100/1)

Verdict

The hat-trick beckons for KNIGHT COMMANDER, who remains on a competitive mark despite the fact that he's effectively 9 lb higher than for his latest success at Exeter. It would be no surprise were Jawshan to leave his previous efforts in this sphere well behind now pitched into a handicap, but Christopher Robin and Level of Intensity rate the main dangers.

  1. KNIGHT COMMANDER
  2. CHRISTOPHER ROBIN (IRE)
  3. LEVEL OF INTENSITY (IRE)
