Verdict
Get Knotted has a cracking record here and hasn’t run in a grade this low since his two-year-olds days, though is probably a light of former days. Flying Moon is only a pound higher than when successful over track and trip in June but Corndavon Lad is still 5lb higher than when scoring here in April. Gweedore was third off this mark at Musselburgh on Friday but has proved best over 7f so far. Ventura Rascal has won four of his last seven starts so looks a threat but BULLS AYE (NAP) should be approaching peak fitness now and Iain Jardine’s charge has more scope than his rivals.
