    Verdict

    KNOCK BOY has yet to win so can't be a confident selection though he looks to have a good opportunity to finally get off the mark here. He's been placed on his last three starts at around today's trip and finished ahead of Whitcombe Spirit last month and Lady Willa at Folkestone on his latest start. Plumpton hurdles winner Tecktal made the frame on his chasing bow at Fontwell in November and looks the main threat as Battlefield Bob hasn't raced since June.
