Forecasts

Him Malaya (10/3), Celtic Art (18/5), American Sniper (4/1), Brave Knight (13/2), Benvoy (9/1), Breezethroughlife (10/1), Time Interval (11/1), Fight My Fire (22/1), Zhang Fei (25/1), Bluegrass (28/1)

Verdict

BRAVE KNIGHT had a possible excuse when beaten at short odds at Fontwell last time and is given another chance as he continues to look fairly treated on the form of his win there prior to that. The low-mileage Fight My Fire might give him most to do ahead of Neil King's Breezethroughlife.
