Verdict
KING’S KNIGHT (NAP) looks to have leading claims in this on recent form. He’s run well in more competitive races than this at Goodwood and Chester since winning on the all-weather in April and the return to a mile will suit. The latter comment also applies to Latest Generation, who struggled over 1m2f at Newbury on his reappearance and is fitted with a tongue-tie today. Dogged will be sharper for last month’s comeback run and can figure while Trais Fluors slips further down the weights looking to end a long losing run and Buxted Too can be forgiven a poor effort on soft ground here.
