Verdict

MR KNIGHTLEY arrives in fine form having won twice before going very close over 5f at Kempton last time. He's the pick at the weights and can return to winning ways back over today's extra furlong. Berlusca has also been in good heart at Wolverhampton of late, although I'm Still The Man is weighted to get the better of him here, but the lightly-raced One More Roman could prove a bigger threat having landed a seller over C&D last time. Le King Beau scored at Kempton on Thursday and should figure again despite his recent wins coming over 7f.
