MERCIAN KNIGHT reached a fairly useful level over hurdles and shaped as though he'd come on for his return/chase debut effort at Lingfield last month. A chasing type on looks, he's open to improvement and earns the vote to come out on top. Classic Escape went close latest and is feared, along with the returning Manofthemoment.
