The Knot Is Tied won over 2m4f here in October but turned in a shocker last time at Uttoxeter and is conceding weight all round. Manofthemoment lacks a recent run and has switched stables so this looks a good opportunity for LELANTOS (NAP) to follow up a victory at Southwell given he’s only been raised 3lb. Lady Malarkey was second over 2m at Worcester last month but this longer trip would be a concern.
