The handicapper went to town on WHATAKNIGHT after he was narrowly beaten at Doncaster so it's no surprise to see Harry Fry's lightly-raced seven-year-old reverting to novice company. He has a penalty to carry but should be capable of giving the weight to Battle Dust, a bit disappointing at Warwick last time after running subsequent winner Howaboutnever close at the same track. You Say What is a course and distance winner and hasn't been disgraced lately but tackles the selection on level terms and is rated15lb inferior.
