In depth
Verdict
Egypt is running well enough at present to be of interest in this and he should have nothing to fear from Dunkerron, who finished 1 3/4 lengths ahead of him at Wolverhampton, yet he meets him here on 11lb better terms. Knight's Emperor, a dual winner last term, had an outing on the flat earlier in the month and if that has blown away the cobwebs, he is beginning to look well treated. Infini returns to hurdling having lost his way over fences but, he looks one to watch for the present.
