PLAY SMARTER

BRAVE KNIGHT was much improved when beating a subsequent winner on his handicap bow at Windsor 2 weeks ago and can defy a 5lb rise with further progress on the cards Fairbanks is another who took a big step forward when making a winning handicap debut at Haydock so is the obvious threat, while Dasho Lennie remains with potential having been left poorly placed at Ascot.
