      Verdict

      Argent Knight's last run on the Flat was in the 2014 Cesarewitch. He has a lengthy absence to overcome but the booking of Simon Walker is a sign of intent. Delagoa Bay made late headway when fourth over track and trip 11 days ago and appears to hold Dukes Den and Kirkman on that run. Irish raider Attenzione started favourite over 1m4f here on Saturday but again failed to make the frame and SINGULAR QUEST looks a better bet. Kevin Frost's charge is also still winless but was a bit unlucky over 1m6f here last month when finishing ahead of Dovils Date and is now 5lb lower than when an excellent second in a much better race last year at Sandown.
