Formscan  - KNIGHT SALUTE makes his return having last been seen when awarded a Grade 1 prize outright at the Grand National meeting. Milton Harris' stable star dead-heated with Pied Piper on that occasion, but the latter was demoted for causing interference. Gordon Elliott's charge is the obvious danger having finished an excellent third in the Triumph Hurdle and sixth at Royal Ascot last time. He remains an exciting prospect, while Bella Scintilla is another to bear in mind.
