Verdict
Knighted won nicely at Nottingham last month and is still unexposed. He looks capable of going close again off a 5lb higher mark. Wolverhampton winner Oneroa has also been lightly raced but she was beaten a long way on her only previous run on Turf. Yorbelucky was progressive last year but lacks a recent run and Rich Identity has run poorly in both starts this year. DUBAI ACCLAIM was slowly away and than met interference when sixth at Musselburgh last time but still finished ahead of Collingham Park. That was his first try over a mile so there may be more to come. Epic Fantasy went close here in October but is having a first run for a new yard.
