Verdict
The Knot Is Tied makes his handicap debut after placing at Newbury and Wetherby and has obvious claims. First Quest also goes on the short-list having benefited from a run at Market Rasen when winning at Plumpton. Dyliev found only one too good at Warwick off her new mark having won at that track earlier when Texan Nomad, who was making ground at the time, was hampered and fell. Oriental Flame fared better eased in grade at Fontwell last time and there should be more to come from The Vollan with Knight Destroyer also worth a market check but THOUNDER should be capable of building on his latest second at Leicester.
