2/1

Forecasts

Brave Knight (15/8), Fairbanks (2/1), Dasho Lennie (6/1), It's All About You (7/1), Cavern Club (9/1), Ithaca's Arrow (22/1), Wintercrack (28/1), Trojan Spirit (33/1)

BRAVE KNIGHT was much improved when beating a subsequent winner on his handicap bow at Windsor 2 weeks ago and can defy a 5 lb rise with further progress on the cards. Fairbanks is another who took a big step forward when making a winning handicap debut at Haydock so is the obvious threat, while Dasho Lennie remains with potential having been left poorly placed at Ascot.
