Verdict

The progressive KNOCKNAMONA landed a four-timer when successful at Ayr in January. Micky Hammond’s charge may not have finished improving yet and is taken to defy a further 5lb rise. Iskabeg Lane has been placed in all three starts since scoring over track and trip in December and should be in the mix once again but Shanty Town never threatened when third at Bangor last time. Shockingtimes went close at Leicester in January but is a temperamental sort and hard to predict.
