I'm not sure that there is any checking of qualifications before they review the whole "phase 1" shebang, as an automated system would be a tad... unwieldy... when considering non-standard qualifications. It seems infinitely more likely to me that they just collate both sections of the phase 1 application and review it in one go. Anyway, as mentioned above, it can't hurt to ask politely!
