Stake: $16,088

KNIGHTS AFFAIR (2) placed second past two starts with a 2400m neck runner-up effort at Doncaster preceding a 1L second tackling a 2800m handicap at Catterick. Going well and rates a leading player. LORD TORRANAGA (6) found success by 2.25L attempting a 2800m handicap at Catterick before a decent 5L attempting the same venue and journey behind the main selection. Could do well again. SEA MASTER (3) ran with credit at Nottingham finishing a close fifth contesting a 2800m handicap. Open to further improvement. SUTUE ALSHAMS (1) may feature.
