Verdict
Knocknamona has found some form and beat Fever Roque at Newcastle. He had Uptown Harry and Thatsy behind when completing a double here last time but the 12-year-old has more on his plate today. If Not For Dylan beat a subsequent winner at Sedgefield and ran well again when second at Haydock but he was beaten more than three lengths by CROAGH PATRICK (NAP) in this last year. The latter is only a pound higher this time and getting lumps of weight from the improving Captain Quint with Lewis Stones’ claim a further factor in his favour.
