        In depth

        Verdict

        Billy Dylan ran in the Norfolk Stakes at Ascot but was outclassed and has a penalty courtesy of an earlier win at Brighton and also the worst of the draw. KNOCKOUT BLOW showed good pace when second over 6f here in May and holds Levante Player on that run. He led for a long way in a better race at York subsequently and the drop back to 5f is an obvious move. Demons Rock has been thereabouts in his last three but has rarely looked like winning.
