Formscan - HE KNOWS BETTER has been knocking on the door since falling on his first try over fences at Haydock in December and the drop in trip may provide the opportunity required for him to strike. Disguisedlimit finished third at Ayr last time and could step forward with a tongue tie applied on this occasion. Others to consider are William Cody and Gaelic Rambler.
