Marcus Tregoning has won two of the last five renewals and will be hoping that Thames Knight can complete his hat-trick after back-to-back wins at Bath. He's not been unduly punished by the handicapper but could find one too good in the form of COVENANT, who wasn't beaten far in a decent contest at Newmarket after winning at Newcastle and has his ground again. Duke Of Sonning won easily at Chepstow but this is much tougher and the in-form Revision makes more appeal. Isamol would have each-way claims on his early-season form and is preferred to Callendula and Silver Quay of the others.
