Verdict
BELOVED KNIGHT struggled to get involved when sent off favourite over 1m2f at Chelmsford last time. He’d gone close over today’s trip before that and gets another chance in a weak handicap with an apprentice’s allowance helping his cause. Wynfaul The Wizard posted his best effort so far when fourth over 7f at Chelmsford last week and makes more appeal than Aiglette and Dragon Tattoo while several go handicapping for the first time with Spring Praise and Gas Monkey preferred.
