Verdict

DANEHILL STAR couldn't live with Roaring Ralph at Southwell on Saturday but there was no disgrace in that, given that the thriving winner was completing the hat trick. He meets nothing of that ilk here and looks a solid option in this selling handicap. Knightmare is feared most with this drop back in trip a positive factor, while Marinakis also merits respect.

7	Remains a maiden and trailed in last of 11 in an 8.6f handicap here a fortnight ago but it's not hard to envisage this 4-y-o making an impact back at what appears to be his optimum trip. 2nd Pick 7 Knightmare (Ire) Jockey: Pat Cosgrave Trainer: David Evans J: Pat Cosgrave T: David Evans	99	-	-	-	3%

10	Winner of a C&D classified event last year and back on the scoresheet when striking in a similar contest at Chelmsford in January. Close third of 7 in another race of that type back here recently and he's one to consider. 3rd Pick 10 Marinakis (Ire) Jockey: Ryan Kavanagh Trainer: Ian Williams J: Ryan Kavanagh T: Ian Williams	93	-	-	-	9%
