KNIGHTS AFFAIR possesses plenty of physical scope and is a stayer to keep on the right side of on the back of his easy win at Redcar 3 weeks ago. Marbuzet was behind the selection that day but this stiffer test should play more to his strengths, while Robert Johnson is back down in class having not been disgraced in handicaps at Glorious Goodwood and York's Ebor meeting.
