NORMANDY KNIGHT (NAP) has progressed with racing and looked on very good terms with himself at Leicester. He's up 5lb but looks better than a 66-rated handicapper and can go in again. Atlantic Affair hasn't won since gaining his only career victory here over two years ago and has only slowly been coming down the weights. Castle Talbot has shown a bit of potential and makes his handicap debut while Tukitinyasok has run well here on several occasions.
