Knight's Parade bids for a hat-trick off a 5lb higher mark after wins at Chepstow and Bath last time. He'd earlier fallen victim to Jan De Heem but the latter disappointed at Salisbury after that. Ivanhoe finished ahead of Strategic Strike when runner-up over track and trip last month and has claims on that form while Bursledon has the scope to improve but will need to to match COULOIR EXTREME. The betting suggested a big run was expected over 1m2f here last week and he duly obliged by eight lengths. With this longer trip likely to suit, Gary Moore's charge can shrug off a penalty and go in again.
