Verdict
KATHAB has been found an ideal opportunity to get off the mark after decent efforts in strong maidens. Stablemate Sanction has run a bit better than form figures suggest but On Sabbatical showed nothing in two starts last summer. Knights Affair is a half-brother to two winners at this trip and makes a belated debut.
