Verdict
Hard Knocks kept on for pressure when second over a shorter trip here earlier in the month. Definite Wisdom found only one too good over track and trip on the same afternoon and is only a pound higher. Imperial Nemesis could do better now going chasing with a similar comment applying to Madera Mist, who has won between the flags. MONBEG AQUADUDE has hinted at ability in a couple of his runs over fences. He looks a thorough stayer and Richard Patrick’s claim will aid his cause.
