In depth

Verdict

I JUST KNOW is 0-6 over hurdles but has turned into a very useful staying chaser. He made all and never looked like being caught in the North Yorkshire Grand National at Catterick in January and Piri Massini, a winner at Fakenham before trying his luck in a Grade 2 at Haydock, may struggle to give him 6lb. Cadeyrn also has a penalty courtesy of a win at Newcastle but he should appreciate this step up in distance. Coningsby went close on his debut under Rules at Exeter but was readily brushed aside at Wetherby next time.
