Tonight’s the night for hopeful Knight

-

CORINTHIA KNIGHT can demonstrat­e his superiorit­y again in the Betway Heed Your Hunch Handicap at Wolverhamp­ton.

Archie Watson’s Good Friday all-weather champion was back on home turf when he beat Gracious John at Lingfield earlier this month.

The handicappe­r has tried to redress the balance for this Tapeta rematch. However, a one-and-ahalf-length verdict in no way flattered Corinthia Knight, and the three-year-old top weight looks all set to put his elders in their place once more.

He has won on this surface before, and can continue to signpost another successful winter. Watson and jockey Edward Greatrex may well bank some early reconnaiss­ance with the winner’s enclosure in the Betway Live Casino Handicap.

Proceed can lead the way for them on stable debut, following her promising second over course and distance at the start of the month.

Nicola Currie has been getting a fine tune out of Your Band of late, and can make it count in the first division of the Play 4Toscore At Betway Handicap.

Jamie Osborne’s gelding is back up in trip for this return to Wolverhamp­ton after a Lingfield victory and two runners-up spots at Kempton and Chelmsford.

Your Band has left it just too late both times but can deliver a telling challenge over the extra distance.

The timing looks right too to side with Molaaheth in the Ladbrokes Home Of The Odds Boost Novice Stakes.

Richard Hannon’s colt clearly appreciate­d the drop to six furlongs when beaten just half a length into third at Kempton on his second start two weeks ago and looks ready to strike here.
