It could pay to stick with RETRO VALLEY in his current form. He bids for a hat-trick under a penalty but romped home by seven lengths at Redcar last time and looks the one to beat. Robben ran well at Beverley a fortnight ago and has a shout while Golden Wedding and Red Words may also get involved stepping up in distance. Breeding suggests middle-distances will suit Racing Knight but Sampera appeared not to stay 1m4f at Doncaster last time and a first-time visor is added for this.
