Verdict

May Be Some Time will be given a fillip if Play Street wins the previous race, and with Stuart Kittow's stable in fair form, the five-year-old couldn't be ruled out from going one better. Superciliary failed to live up to his Royal breeding when with Ralph Beckett though he's found a new pursuit as a handicap hurdler and connections arrive with the intention of trying to nick a race on the Flat. KNIGHT'S PARADE was a little below par at Windsor last month but Amanda Perrett's team are firing on all cylinders at present, and we'll take him to regain the winning thread. Marcus Tregoning's stable have endured a quiet start to the campaign and Epsom maiden winner, Nile Knight returns in blinkers having finished last on all three of his starts this term. Star Date fell when clipping heels on Derby Day 2012 and he appears to have struggled with his confidence since.
