SO YOU KNOW looks well treated for this handicap debut, particularly as further improvement looks on the cards for this low-mileage 5-y-o. Ukantango was only put up 2lb for Hereford and might be the one for the forecast spot ahead of Get In Order, who appeals as one likely to go on to better things in handicaps.
