      Verdict

      OASIS KNIGHT has a question mark against his attitude after his odds-on defeat at Ffos Las. Despite travelling sweetly for most of the race, he found nil when asked to win his race and ultimately was quite comfortably fended off. He is still taken to score here, however, as he has so much in hand on official ratings but on that latest evidence is not one to be taking a short price about. Tower, one of two Chris Grant entries, is progressing nicely over timber and showed he's capable of picking up a novice hurdle when runner-up in an above-average Cartmel contest. Stable companion Jackstown has shown bumper promise and now makes his hurdling debut.
