    In depth

    Verdict

    Knight Charm has slipped down the weights since winning his maiden in soft ground at Windsor last summer and finished ahead of Fletcher Christian last time. Dual Polytrack winner Blazing Knight has shown little so far this season but Buy Art posted a better effort when third over the minimum trip at Windsor last month and can race off the same mark today. INDIAN AFFAIR is proving hard to win with but can be relied on to run his race and Milton Bradley's colt gets a speculative vote in what looks an open contest.
