      Verdict

      Thames Knight was all out to get off the mark over course and distance on Saturday and may be worth opposing in this under a penalty. ROCK LOBSTER (NAP) had the proverbial ton in hand when scoring at Chelmsford nine days ago. He also has 6lb extra to carry but should be up to the task as long as conditions don't deteriorate further. Azure Amour won over track and trip last month but is another who wouldn't want any more rain while it's likely Sword of The Lord is having a pipe-opener before resuming his career over hurdles. Hector's Chance has been taking on better opposition but has never won off a mark this high.
