Formscan - Having posted a solid third over 1m5f at Ayr, DIVINE KNIGHT appeared to improve for the step up in distance. An extra furlong on quicker ground should prove no issue for the Night Of Thunder gelding and, off an unchanged mark, he makes the most appeal. King Of Berkshire arrives in better form than most, although his latest third at Sandown hasn't worked out as hoped. With that in mind, a bigger threat may emerge from Fireblade, who is 2lb lower than when fourth at Windsor.
