Verdict

THE KNOT IS TIED found only an in-form mare too strong last time at Warwick, form that has been boosted by the winner and third since. Neil King's runner is improving with each start over timber and can make the most of the weight received from Katpoli here. Dr Richard Newland's charge has failed to build on a winning start over timber at Huntingdon and, despite two good runs at Cheltenham late last year, was disappointing at Wincanton last month when favourite. The forecast ground may also be worry. Percy Prosecco looks best of the remainder.
