Listed winner last August, though his form wasn't quite at that level for the rest of the season and again ran poor race on return in the Lincolnshire at Naas 20 days ago.
Last spotted finishing third in a 2000 Guineas Trial over C&D a year ago, returns for respected connections and is unexposed. Pay close attention in betting and note confidence.
Remarkable progress last year in winning seven of 13 starts. Not beaten far at Cork (7f, heavy) on final start and every chance of going well again on return.
Lightly-raced, counts a course win over 7f (yielding to soft) amongst his efforts from five starts. Came up short in Listed Ascot contest when last spotted, claims if ready to go first time out.
Winner of 1m Listowel handicap on heavy when last spotted off opening mark of 82. Trainer capable of having him ready to go on return from 3lb higher and respected claims.
AW maiden winner for Roger Charlton, will have to improve on turf form to land this prize on first start for new connections but lightly-raced and promises to handle soft going.
Forecasts
Knowing You (5/2), Casimiro (7/2), Xenobia (9/2), Zorion (9/2), Not A Bad Oul Day (7/1), Canary Row (8/1)
KNOWING YOU got through really testing ground to make a winning start in handicaps at Listowel in the autumn, rated only 3lb higher now Dermot Weld's filly has plenty scope to go ahead improving. The unknown quantity is Zorion, last seen here in a Guineas Trial a year ago, but respected nonetheless. The consistent Not A Bad Oul Day and Xenobia are next in line.
