        Verdict

        Savvy Knight finished in front of SIR RUMI over a shorter trip at Kempton last month but is untried on soft ground and the latter is taken to reverse running. Richard Hannon’s charge has subsequently won at Epsom and can defy a 4lb rise with conditions to suit again. Nathanael Greene returns to action having won a valuable handicap over 1m6f last summer while High Fibre had just the one start last year and has switched yards. Saratoga Gold had the measure of Ravens Ark when notching a treble on faster going last year.
