      Verdict

      MR KNIGHTLEY's only defeat in his last four starts came in a handicap and he'll take all the beating in this company. Well clear on official ratings, Jim Boyle's charge is likely to start odds-on here after his latest win in a claimer at Wolverhampton. Sonko won in plating company at Thirsk in August and looks next best, though Marie's Fantasy should improve on her recent comeback run at Wolverhampton. The remaining pair have shown nothing so far.
