Verdict

Having showed plenty of promise on debut, OBSIDIAN KNIGHT had little go right when fifth on his latest outing at Wolverhampton, badly hampered 1f out and unable to recover. He's well worth another chance and gets the nod with potential for better still intact. Needle Lace, who ran well when runner-up on debut for George Boughey, and Glide Down head up the dangers.
