Verdict
Get Knotted hasn’t been at his best but won this last year off today’s mark. Harrison Point landed a double before finishing third here behind runner-up HAJJAM. The latter can effectively race off a lower mark today with an apprentice’s allowance taken into account and can go one better. Luxor finished in front of Byron's Choice when placed in a lower grade here recently while Flying Pursuit and Clog Maker step back up in trip.
