RIGHT DAY TO BACK KNIGHT

*%), NEWTON

ABBOT – After spending over four months on the sidelines with a fractured neck Noel Fehily was on the mark with Winner Massagot at Fontwell yesterday. The popular Irishman can gain further success with WHATAKNIGHT (nb). This consistent performer does not do himself any favours with the handicapper but will appreciate today’s drop in grade. He ran a blinder on his penultimate start at Cheltenham in April when chasing home the smart Monbeg Theatre. Recent Market Rasen winner

Perfect Man is an obvious threat. He made an impressive debut for trainer Olly Murphy after showing some smart form when trained in Ireland. He will need to improve, though, as the handicapper has put him up 10lb. *%+,

PERTH – Kim Bailey, inset, can enhance his excellent record at the Scottish track with CHARBEL (treble).

He looked destined for top honours when a novice and his trainer believed he may well have beaten the mighty Altior had he not fallen at the second-last fence in the

2017 Arkle Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. Since that tumble he has not replicated that running. But this is a huge drop in grade and he deserves another chance. The Philip Hobbs-trained Imperial

Presence is the obvious threat as he is on a four-timer. But his wins have come in moderate races at Uttoxeter, Stratford and Kempton. The handicapper may well have his measure – up 8lb for his recent successes. .%(, CHELMSFORD

– After some excellent efforts in defeat CORROSIVE

(nap) can regain the winning thread. He did not have any luck in running on his latest start at York when down the field behind Urban Aspect. But he was not disgraced on his previous run when fourth, beaten two lengths, by Crack On Crack On at Ascot. That form stacks up well with the winner finishing second in a competitive

17-runner handicap at York on his next run. Georgian

Manor disappointed on his latest start but has claims on past performances.
