Verdict
CORINTHIA KNIGHT has been here seven times and won five of them including over the trip 10 days ago for which he has a 4lb penalty. Hollie Doyle is on board again and victory number six looks on the cards. Commandment paid his only visit here in June and landed a Class 5 handicap with a bit in hand before running well in this grade at Yarmouth. Haymaker's Newmarket victory came over 7f but his last two runs have been in better company and Dandy Spirit won over the course and distance before finding 5f too short at Thirsk so enters calculations. Fast And Loose landed a novices' race at Catterick but only had two to beat.
