      Verdict

      Calcutta bounced back to form when winning at Bath last time but his hold up tactics do not suit this track and he is probably best left out of calculations with the vote going to Camelot, who gets the verdict over another in-form performer Muchea. The last mentioned is impossible to rule out entirely but may now be a shade high in the weights and we prefer to side with Camelot, who's front-running style should suit the Knavesmire, is progressive and can overcome a 5lb rise in the weights since his latest success at Haydock. Flighty Fellow has been running well without getting his head in front but has paid the penalty as a result and would probably prefer a softer surface anyway. A similar comment applies to Mick Easterby's Blue Spinnaker and a bigger threat may come from the Peter Harris-trained Star Sensation, who is well enough treated on his best to take a hand. However, Camelot has a progressive profile and gets the vote.
