Verdict

KNIGHTON ran well to finish second on handicap debut and looks to have found a golden opportunity to go one place better. Handicap newcomer Hellion might pose the biggest threat in a thin contest.

2	Showed ability in a novice on the Flat and reached the frame on the last 2 of his 3 outings in juvenile hurdles. Bumped into a well-treated one when second in a 5-runner event on handicap debut at Ludlow (2m) in March and he looks the one to beat. 1st Pick 2 Knighton Jockey: Toby Wynne Trainer: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero J: Toby Wynne T: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	100	-	-	-	90%

5	Third in 2 novices (both at around 1¼m) on the Flat last year for Brian Meehan. No show so far over hurdles (had breathing operation prior to latest start) but makes handicap debut in a really thin race and could make more of an impact in first-time cheekpieces. 2nd Pick 5 Hellion (Ire) Jockey: William Maggs Trainer: Donald Mccain J: William Maggs T: Donald Mccain	75	-	-	-	16%	Scratched

1	Yet to open his account after 15 starts and has finished well beaten since switching to handicap hurdles on his last 2 outings.
