In depth
Verdict
Blue Knight has hit a rich vein of form of late and followed a recent Brighton success by finishing a close runner-up at Epsom last week. Both those efforts were over six furlongs but this pacet type should have little difficulty in coping with the return to the minimum trip and can register his third win of the current campaign. Mr Spliffy was just touched off in a similar heat last time and is respected depite a subsequent 3lb rise while there may be more to come from Climate Control who has conditions in his favour and rates the main danger.
