This probably revolves around whether Friday’s winner KNIGHT COMMANDER is turned out again quickly under a double penalty as he’s made giant strides since joining the in-form Olly Murphy team. Mash Potato was only fifth on Friday while May’s Sedgefield scorer Prairie Impulse was well beaten off a 4lb lower mark at Market Rasen on his latest start. Beau Bay may be the one to take advantage if the selection fails to show.
