      Verdict

      COURAGEOUS KNIGHT was headed right on the line by One World at Haydock earlier this month. Though the winner was well beaten at Royal Ascot last week, James Doyle’s mount looks the most likely winner of this ahead of unraced stable companion Quinault and the Johnstons’ newcomer Sir Jock Bennett, who is a half-brother to four winners. Ezaj and Afterlife are both likely improvers.
