None are ruled out in a tight little handicap, though Kingsplace is now 0-10. Chambard has been struggling for form this season and Urtheonethatiwant was pulled up here in December in a race he’d won 12 months earlier. IMPERIAL KNIGHT is still seeking a first career victory but he’s gone close a few times and Luca Morgan’s claim can help him finally get his head in front ahead of Huntsmans Jog, who had Ask Henry behind when third at Uttoxeter just over three weeks ago. Johnny B has been lightly raced and is not without a chance but needs to settle better.
