SPECIAL SORT (3) rates strongly this line up after placing in city grade at Belmont Park over 1m. Fitter for a sixth in a trial at Lark Hill. Has scored before when fresh. Expected to be in the finish. STARRING KNIGHT (4) scored in a at this track then met stiffer opposition in town last time when seventh over 7f at Ascot, beaten 3.5 lengths. Better placed this time and can do much better. DEFENDING (2) was not disgraced in city class last time when seventh at Ascot and goes well here. Won't find this assignment as tough. Has winning claims. PATCHWORK (6) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest offering a fifth, beaten 2 lengths, over 6f at this track. Has a good record here at this journey with three wins and four minor placings from 10 starts. Has to be respected.
