Verdict

STERLING KNIGHT was only third in this last year but gained his second track success a fortnight ago and a 3lb rise looks manageable. Mister Bluebird landed a 7f Goodwood handicap then pulled much too hard over that trip at Newbury and Jason Watson takes over from an apprentice. After a neck defeat at Newbury, Tanmawwy started favourite for a heritage handicap at Newmarket but failed to come up to expectations and can do better. Expert Agent completed a Polytrack hat-trick before finding Class 2 company against him at Newmarket but Lethal Nymph is well up to this grade as he showed when completing an Ascot double in September.
