Verdict

Eventually KNIGHT IN ARMOUR is going to need further than this 7f but as long as he settles better than on his debut he’s one of the main players in this race and should be able to improve again especially with Franny Norton taking the ride(one of the best around Chester). The well drawn Alifax looks to be one of the main dangers although he’s only making modest progress with each run while both Lucifugous and Fastalong will know more than they did on their debuts and should come on for those runs and can hit the places here.
  1. Knight In Armour
  2. Alifax
  3. Lucifugous
