Venetia Williams' yard are in good heart at present and she can have another winner here with Rudi Knight, who can get the better of Harem Scarem and Mulkev Prince in a weak handicap. Rudi Knight has his optimum conditions of 2m 4f and cut in the ground here, and the combination of his drop down the handicap, plus the weak nature of the race have him interesting us as a betting proposition. With things finally falling in his favour here we take him to score. Not much else in this race is in cracking form either, but old timers Harem Scarem and Mulkev Prince can still run to a level of form in conditions they enjoy to give them every chance of making the frame at these weights, and if both give their running then that is how we anticipate the race will work out, but Rudi Knight has his best opportunity for some time and can score.
