Thecornishcowboy has been cleverly campaigned to notch up a four-timer. But he's 15lb higher today after scoring at Beverly during the week and Palus San Marco should reverse earlier running at the track. Honourable Knight finished ahead of NAVE when third at Salisbury last time. But the latter won last year's renewal and, given he also has the beating of Tingo In The Tale, David Simcock's charge gets the nod. Warrigal has leading claims on his Polytrack form but ran nowhere near his best in either of his previous starts on Turf and has something to prove now.
