Lightly raced over timber, KNOT ON TIME made a promising start over fences at Downpatrick last month when only weakening at the last and Paul Nolan’s five-year-old can make good use of that experience today. Hostage To Fortune may have been flattered by his third at Galway but Fauguernon will be a big danger if taking to the larger obstacles and Gordon Elliott’s pair are worth monitoring for any market support. Getaway Katie won over hurdle when with Willie Mullins and Stormy Judle would have a chance if getting a run from his reserve spot.
