In depth

Verdict

Know Your Name was placed over course and distance last time and can race off the same mark while Fairy Mist has been thereabouts at Brighton of late. Kakapuka has been threatening to score off similar marks recently and Alketios showed some improvement for a slide down the weights when fourth here a week ago. But FLECKERL has also slipped down the handicap and Bill Muir's charge gets the nod dropping down a couple of grades on the back of a fourth at Leicester.
