KNOW NO FEAR ended a long losing run with victory over C&D a fortnight ago. A 3lb rise may not be be enough to prevent a follow up and he gets the nod to go in again. Trojan Rocket has been in good form over 6f at this track of late, though he was well beaten on a previous start over today's longer trip, while Yarmouth winner Diamond Run had been progressing nicely until a poor effort here last time. Vhujon landed a double at Kempton last month before being soundly beaten off today's mark at the same track.
