King's Knight was last seen struggling in heavy going at Newmarket but was runner-up on the Turf course here before that and makes his all-weather debut. La Maquina returns to action 4lb higher than when successful at Kempton while Caspian Queen has only her second outing over today’s trip having switched yards. Lequinto needs to find more off his current mark but CORAZON ESPINADO (NAP) has been competing in much better company since scoring over track and trip in January and Simon Dow’s charge gets another chance back at this level.
