        In depth

        Verdict

        KNIGHTSWOOD gave the impression this extra distance would suit when returning a five-length winner over 1m2f at Redcar and can defy a penalty. Berkshire Breeze showed little progress last time though has stronger form than stable companion Vintage Valley but Rechercher is preferred on a recent second at Goodwood. Crystal Caves has yet to figure for the Haggas yard and steps up in trip.
