Formscan - KNOWSLEY ROAD has shaped with stacks of promise in three starts since joining Paul Nicholls and should be capable of brushing aside a 7lb penalty for a cosy triumph over course and distance last month. Libberty Hunter, who won a bumper at this circuit when with his previous yard, offered encouragement behind a subsequent winner on his debut over hurdles here and may do better over this longer trip. Winning pointer Grey D'alco is another open to progression and is also considered.
