Twenty Eight Guns is on the crest of a wave right now and steps up to three miles in her hat-trick bid. Her sire's progeny have a poor record over this trip and a chance is taken with KNIGHT OF NOIR. Neil Mulholland's charge will have learnt a lot from his first two runs over fences which followed an 18 month absence. He was rated a stone higher than this over hurdles and although a tricky ride, Nick Schofield knows him very well. He may have most to fear from Cogry who faces his easiest task over fences for some while and can be forgiven his latest run. 1. Knight Of Noir 2. Cogry 3. Twenty Eight Guns
