DECORATED KNIGHT will likely start a short price for this. His placed efforts at Doncaster and Ripon last time is the best form on show and Roger Varian's colt is fancied to get the better of Barsanti. The latter showed some promise on his racecourse debut at Goodwood three weeks ago and is preferred to Ella's Honour, who also ran well at Goodwood on her latest start. Muwaffak is harder to fancy having been well beaten on his debut at Newmarket and the newcomer Taurean Beauty is probably best watched on this occasion.
