Verdict

COTAI AGAIN couldn’t prevent the odds-on Knight Shield from landing a double when runner-up at Newbury last time but Charlie Hills’ colt may have better luck in this receiving weight from Malvern. The latter is penalised for winning at Chepstow a fortnight ago though won a shade cosily and should still be in the mix once again. Miarka and Billesdon need plenty of improvement if they are to figure while the newcomer Global Agreement has no easy task.
