A race which revolves around the pair of recent rules winners KNOCKLONG and Mr Raj. Both horses are on a upward curve, but it's impossible not to be impressed with the statistics being churned out by Justin Landy lately. His Ardea was a recent winner at Hexham (under Joe Wright), and in truth, being a winner of nine of his last ten races (should've been ten), Knocklong deserves to be giving weight to all of his rivals tonight.
