Formscan  - WESTERN KNIGHT showed distinct promise at Plumpton a year ago and having been given plenty of time to mature, the son of Westerner is a highly appealing option for Joe Tizzard to be reintroducing at this stage of the season. Open to any amount of improvement, the five-year-old is taken to go one better than that second-placed finish on his racecourse bow. Jaccours and Jena D'oudairies are a couple of others to monitor closely in the betting.
