KNIGHT DESTROYER got off the mark at the seventh time of asking over fences with a decisive Southwell victory in a manner suggesting he'll improve further in the discipline. At the age of seven, he's time on his hands and can confirm Nottinghamshire placings with likely front-runner Uncle O, who's since displayed a resilient attitude to oblige at Market Rasen and should be in the shake-up once again. The consistent Special Buddy and Begoodtoyourself are also noted.
