Pepys is on a roll but only beat Poet's Dawn by a nose when completing his hat-trick at Beverley and the runner-up is a pound better off. KNIGHTED beat Poet's Dawn in one of these last month and is 2lb better off. he’s since followed up with something to spare at Pontefract and can continue his upward curve by landing this ahead of Kharbetation, who will surely reverse Ayr running in July with Royal Shaheen on 10lb better terms. It was soft going when Deadly Accurate scored over a bit further at Epsom but Give It Some Teddy has possibilities back on a quicker surface and won here last year. Mon Beau Visage could also justify each-way support.
