        Verdict

        Knight Owl ended last season with a victory and was fourth in this last year, though is 3lb higher. His trainer also runs Arthenus, who is chasing a four-timer on his return. But connections will have been praying for rain over the last 24 hours while an easier surface may also have suited Mutamakkin, a staying-on third over 7f here on his return from a lay-off. Sir Michael Stoute's filly INTIMATION has Group 1 and Group 2 entries in the next couple of months so her trainer will be disappointed if she can't make an impression in this off a mark of 90 given her progressive profile. Spring Offensive was fourth over a mile here in September and made a winning reappearance at Pontefract but was behind Arthenus at York in between. Niceofyoutotellme won this in 2014 but hasn't scored since and remains 13lb higher.
