The likes of Dixie Sky, Al Muntazah and Gabrial The Duke are all likely to improve on their form in maidens now going handicapping while Cheektocheek and Jebril are lightly raced and capable of bouncing back from recent setbacks. East Texas Red also has claims but Missing Agent may find this company too rich. Knight's Parade won over this trip at Chepstow before finishing fourth over 1m2f at Bath, just ahead of RIOJA DAY. But John Hills' colt, a good second at Salisbury earlier, appeared to find that extended trip beyond him and, dropped in distance here, is fancied to have his revenge on the bottom weight and get off the mark.
