Confirmed more positive signs when landing handicaps here and at Exeter in October, winning readily on each occasion. Latest Taunton run easily overlooked and worth another chance.

Glimmers of ability first 2 starts and whilst he ran well below pick of his form at Stratford (2m) last time, he's the type to do better now handicapping for good yard.

Flat winner who was much improved when second in a Taunton maiden (16.5f) 12 months ago. However, failed to replicate that thereafter and others more convincing.

Justified good support when resuming winning ways at Leicester (15.5f) last winter but beaten before a bad error back at that venue in January. Undergone wind surgery since and she's gone well fresh.

Successful off 7 lb higher in April 2019 and also scored twice in the Channel Islands later that year. Hasn't fired in 4 runs this term but the assessor continues to relinquish his grip.

Minor promise on first of 3 starts in mares' novice/maiden events last winter but not kicked on since, very easy to back and well beaten in a Stratford handicap last month. This should reveal more.

Ran well when runner-up over fences at Newton Abbot (21f) in August and he's had excuses over both sets of obstacles since, possibly unsuited by conditions latest. Not one to write off.

Close fourth on only outing in bumpers in France but he's yet to offer much over hurdles, struggling long way out on handicap debut at Taunton in March. Still, break/wind op may well have helped.

Both wins on the Flat were gained on the all-weather and in modest company. Ran to no more than a poor level in trio of hurdle starts this autumn and progress required to figure now handicapping.

Much improved when getting on top late at Exeter (16.8f) in January 2019. Respectable fourth at Chepstow (2m) when last seen 12 months ago but it may well be he comes on for the run here.

Well-beaten second in Fontwell maiden hurdle back in spring 2019 pick of his exploits to date and no more than a modicum of promise to glean from pair of handicap efforts earlier this year.

15:37 Hereford - 10 November 2020 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

KNIGHT COMMANDER is best not judged on his most recent start and had been in resurgent form when landing handicaps here and at Exeter in October. He's worth another chance to get back to winning ways with fine 5 lb claimer Jack Tudor up. Handicap debutant Kaproyale can be expected to improve and is feared, along with Flou Artsistique and Drewmain Legend.
