Verdict

JEDHI KNIGHT stepped up on his return when finding only one too strong at Pontefract earlier in the month and having been nudged up just 1 lb, Paul Midgley's 4-y-o is fancied to go one better at the expense of Sophiesticate, who has gradually found her feet for new connections. Falaise Blanc may prove best of the remainder.
