Jonjo O'Neill holds a strong hand with Knight Destroyer and The Major General appealing off their current marks and in this company should the market signals be positive. Texan Nomad, First Quest and Dyliev are in form but all look exposed. In contrast THE KNOT IS TIED has only had the two runs over hurdles. His form on the level suggests he wants further but it also indicates he is on a decent mark here should plenty of use be made of him. Celtic Joy, Oriental Flame and The Vollan are others to consider.
