Chapellerie made the most of a good opportunity when landing a Lingfield seller three weeks ago, but she may find MR KNIGHTLEY too strong here. The latter paid the price for setting a fast pace in a handicap at Kempton on Wednesday when fading quickly in the closing stages but Nathan Alison's claim gives him every chance in this company. Bond Style has been threatening to lose his maiden tag of late though he has plenty to find with the selection on today's terms as does recent C&D winner Speedy Yaki, but One More Roman looks a danger back over his winning trip.
