Verdict

THE GOLDEN KNIGHT (9) has won in a photo finish over this track and trip in his last two starts. He hit the line nicely in his latest trial at Conghua and now Maxime Guyon hops on board. Likely to get back in the run but can extend his winning run. ENDUED (3) is better than he showed last start when beaten 2L over this courser and distance as the race favourite. Craig Williams hops on board and he should be closer in the run this time around. Didn't have the best of luck last time and can land the knockout blow this time. SHAMUS STORM (10) won narrowly last time out when stretching to 1 ?m. Back to the mile now is no issue and he maps to get every chance under Bentley. Can feature in the finish again. LOVERO (5) can bounce back to his best form following a plain run last time.
