The hat-trick beckons for KNIGHT COMMANDER, who remains on a competitive mark despite the fact that he's effectively 9 lb higher than for his latest success at Exeter. It would be no surprise were Jawshan to leave his previous efforts in this sphere well behind now pitched into a handicap, but Christopher Robin and Level of Intensity rate the main dangers.
