Verdict

Despite a double penalty, KNIGHT BACHELOR is likely to be a short price to complete his hat-trick as he followed up an easy maiden win at Cartmel with an equally-impressive success in a handicap at Uttoxeter. Course and distance winner Carrigkerry will be receiving a stone taking into account Page Fuller's claim so shouldn't go down without a fight. Horseguardsparade was second over track and trip last month but Balmoral Prince is making his debut over timber having shown little in bumpers.
