tracked leader, led well over 1f out, ridden clear, ran on well
led until over 1f out, soon under pressure, faded closing stages
chased leaders, went 2nd entering final furlong, no chance with winner
MR KNIGHTLEY comes out best at the weights and arrives in top form. He's likely to start a short-price here as he's won two of his last three starts at Kempton and today's drop in trip should be no problem for Jim Boyle's front-runner. Burnwynd Spirit and Multi Blessing are both out of sorts, though the latter won his maiden over 5f at Lingfield back in May, so Available may prove the biggest threat despite posting a disappointing effort when favourite at Kempton last month.
