Verdict

This looks wide-open though Oasis Spear makes more appeal than stablemate Sahara after a promising reappearance at Ascot. Prendergast Hill is starting to come down the weights and would have a chance on his best form. There are also possibilities about Smaih and Biotic while Starwatch and Craftsmanship are previous course and distance winners. THAMES KNIGHT made giant strides after finishing third behind Biotic here last July and, though worse off at the weights and having his first run since October, can reverse placings and land this under 7lb claimer Tyler Saunders.
