Race preview
COURAGEOUS KNIGHT has let favourite backers down on both starts thus far, with a fourth at Nottingham in May followed by a nose second at Haydock last time on soft ground. As a son of Dubawi, the better going here ought to be more to his liking and he may have been found a suitable race to get off the mark. Stablemate Quinault cost 310,000gns and may well be the one to follow the suggestion home, though Afterlife pulled too hard on his debut and might do a lot better if settling here.
