OBSIDIAN KNIGHT proved his new mark was clearly still handy enough when finding only the progressive Zealot too strong at Newcastle earlier this month. With a talented 7 lb claimer booked, he's fancied to turn the tables with that rival and notch career success number 4. Zealot would hold major claims if lining up (made it 7 wins from last 8 starts at Chelmsford on Thursday), while Buxted Too and Nolton Cross should also be in the mix.
