Registered his first victory when successful in a 1m4f handicap on good ground at Ripon earlier this month. Raised 6lb for that success and shapes as if this step up in trip will suit.

3/1

Bidding to complete a hat-trick following wins at Catterick (2m, good-to-firm) and over this C&D last time out. Easy 5L winner of his latest start and one to note despite an 8lb rise in the weights.

Form: 465411

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M L W Bell| OR: 61| D

Forecasts

The Knot Is Tied (3/1), Bill Cody (7/2), Eyecatcher (7/2), Outlane (5/1), Hot Off The Press (7/1), Rocky Shores (12/1), Low Profile (16/1), Point Of Honour (33/1)

THE KNOT IS TIED can continue his good run of form by completing a treble in this three-year-old handicap. The selection has looked an improved performer in recent starts and can get the better of top weight Eyecatcher who should appreciate this step up in distance. Bill Cody, a C&D winner on his most recent start can run another good race to finish third.
