A weak maiden to round off the card and Great Knight is the pick to complete what could be a good night for the Haggas yard. Well beaten last time out at Brighton behind an impressive winner who has since not been disgraced in a conditions event, the encouragement is that the third Superduper has won. That formline appears solid enough. Do As I Say makes his seasonal debut here and will need to step up on his efforts of last season. His best run was a second behind Victorian Bounty, the much improved sprinter from the Stef Liddiard yard. Mrs Bun displayed some promise first time out and the market should indicate what is expected while Pintano is likely to be seen in a better light in handicaps. Graet Knight is selected to land the finale.
