Verdict
Knavesmire Omen hails from a yard that can do little wrong at present and showed improved form for the step up to this trip when landing recent handicaps at Musselburgh and Warwick. Still unexposed over this trip and proven on the ground, the Robellino gelding is the TEAMtalk selection to lift the finale. Andromache shapes as though this distance will suit having twice finished strongly over 10f last month while Stratosphere cannot be dismissed despite the steadier of top weight. Deco Star ran as thougth something was amiss last time and is better judged on previous placed efforts in handicaps at Yarmouth and Goodwood off the same mark as today.
