DECORATED KNIGHT was only beaten a length by subsequent Group 3 winner Commemorative on his introduction. Roger Varian's colt has a string of fancy entries and this should provide a good confidence-booster before stepping up in class. Tafahom should be winning this year judged on last year's form and shares ownership with Inshaa while Bletchley Park made the frame on his return to action and there should be more to come from him.
