Tim Easterby has a good record in this and is mob handed with six runners. Fashion Theory is preferred of those on a recent a second at Musselburgh given both Give It Some Teddy and Poet's Dawn have fallen prey to the progressive Knighted. The latter bids for a four-timer having made all over track and trip on his latest start when just holding off the attention of MON BEAU VISAGE. But David O’Meara’s charge re-opposes on much better terms and may come out best on this occasion. Alfred Richardson and Royal Shaheen are others with something to find with Knighted while Racemaker narrowly beat Kaeso here in August though both have been beaten since.
