Verdict
Plenty with claims in this. Knight Bachelor is getting closer but has been raised a further 5lb for finishing second at Towcester while King Of Strings failed to cope with a rise in the weights last time having landed a double at Hexham earlier. Brass Monkey is upped in class off a higher mark after scoring at Fontwell last week and Mont Royale's earlier win at Warwick came in soft ground. Indian Stream has a chance if forgiven a below par effort at Aintree but the vote goes to TWELVE STRINGS (NAP) to open his account over timber after posting his best effort to date when narrowly beaten at Towcester last time.
