In depth
Verdict
Bachelor Knight's latest improved effort came in an amateurs' race and Lisselton Cross was still beaten three lengths when third at this level last time. Flow Chart's only win came on the Fibresand and he finished runner-up at Southwell last month, while the remainder are all hard to fancy with the exception of AD VITAM. The latter has been out of sorts over longer trips of late, but Micky Hammond's charge need only repeat November's fourth over C&D to land this low grade handicap.
