Beloved Knight was narrowly beaten over a mile at Kempton recently with PERCY PROSECCO back in third. But the latter will be sharper for that outing and the longer trip will likely suit as he re-opposes on better terms. He’s one of several lightly-raced types to consider with The Fiddler also expected to improve and is preferred to Stay In The Light and Jenny Ren. Pact Of Steel and Pammi are among the more experienced horses with a shout.
