Formscan - This is already NO KNEE NEVER's 12th outing of the year and he isn't being allowed to rest on his laurels after a comprehensive victory at Lingfield on Monday. Such was the authority he displayed, a 5lb penalty is unlikely to bother him too much. Maple was second in a couple of Newcastle handicaps before successfully reverting to hurdles at Sedgefield, and he could be well treated. Tees George's two runs this campaign have been promising and he goes well here.
