Dollar Bill returns to a more realistic level having taken his chance in the Queen Alexandra Stakes but he faces no easy task in conceding weight all round and HONOURABLE KNIGHT appears a more appealing proposition. Mark Usher's six-year-old tends to come to hand at this time of the season and having finished a respectable fourth to Thecornishcowboy at Windsor, it is hoped that he can build upon that performance. Surprise Us attempted to make all in a modest handicap over C&D last month and the other riders will need to keep a close eye on him tonight. The well-bred Petrify was sold cheaply out of Luca Cumani's stable and Bernard Llewellyn allows him another try over the distance. Now What finished fourth in this race last season and he is set to take his chance in this year's renewal off a 4lb lower mark.
