Formscan  - KNIGHTSWOOD went winless last term but having struck the woodwork at Thirsk on his reappearance, he made no mistake when recording a narrow success at Ripon last time. Charlie Johnston's gelding was worth more than the winning margin suggests that day and, off 3lb higher, he may well repeat the dose. El Cordobes finished second in a couple of handicaps at Meydan earlier in the year and there should be more to come. He'll need improvement to defy this lofty rating, though, and it could be that French Master is the bigger threat.
