MR KNIGHTLEY was only beaten a length in a handicap over a mile here last week. He won by 10 lengths over 7f at this track before that and showed enough speed to suggest today's distance will be no problem. Multi Blessing ran a shocker on his first start since scoring over 5f at Lingfield back in May and the jury's out on him, but Pint Size should run his usual solid race and makes more appeal than Redair. Tidal's Baby should also go well without being good enough to get his head in front.
