Data Protection is starting to come down the weights again but was also engaged in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket yesterday. Knowing has gone up 5lb for a recent course and distance victory and may have to give best to PATIENT DREAM, who has already won twice around here this season and also at Windsor. Rival tried to slip his field at Chester earlier this month but was reeled in close home and still looks a few pounds too high but there should be more to come from Nottingham winner Greatgadian. Champagne Piaff is improving but the in-form Arenas Del Tiempo may struggle in this better grade.
