Formscan  - Bourbon Blues has gone close in a pair of strong handicaps at Glorious Goodwood and York. The booking of Ryan Moore warrants him the utmost respect, but the vote goes to KNIGHTS CHARGE. Roger Varian's colt arrives seeking a hat-trick having backed up a smooth Lingfield success at Nottingham under a 7lb penalty in May. The yard have a decent strike-rate with their runners at this venue so his absence since isn't too much of a concern. King Of Earth was outclassed in the Strensall at York but is given another chance back in handicap company, while the unexposed Besieged, an easy winner at Salisbury in June, is likely to have more to offer.
