BACHELOR KNIGHT won three races for Richard Fahey including his latest start at Ayr. He's been raised 5lb for that victory but remains on a winning mark and can be forgiven his defeat in a claimer here in September, as he stood little chance at the weights. He can make a winning start for new connections. Shutterbug showed her first worthwhile form on her recent all-weather debut and could figure, while Amazon Twilight may be capable of better on his debut on the Polytrack and Magic Cross has been in good enough form to make her presence felt.
