    Verdict

    Knight Owl still looks high enough in the weights having finished well behind the winner when runner-up here in September. Almoreb had the stronger form last year but ran poorly on his reappearance here last month while My Target can race off a lower mark on this surface but is much better on the all-weather and finished in front of Poet's Society when second at Lingfield in March. Roll On Rory won over track and trip last season but has shown little so far this year so this looks a good opportunity for WARSAW ROAD (NAP), who will have come on for last month’s return to action at Kempton and looks capable of scoring off his current mark.
