Verdict
The first of two interesting two-year-old races on the card that features some newcomers with decent pedigrees and it may well be that one of those in KNIGHTED can make a winning start to his career. Of those that have run Ginbar sets the standard and he should be suited by the step-up t o 6f although his form doesn't look to making as much progression as once appeared likely. Finnion Fox looks as though he may be able to take a race but handicaps may be more his thing and it will pay to see how the market treats the two Ed Walker newcomers in Desert Doctor and Sapper .
