Knocknamona had been showing little prior to winning easily at Newcastle when a big outsider. He has his ground again and Wee Small Hours also outran big odds when second at Down Royal last month. Caboy has placed in all three starts this term but progression may have stalled. IF NOT FOR DYLAN won over track and trip early last month and just came up short at Wetherby later raised 5lb. He could have done without a further 4lb rise but gets on well with 7lb claimer William Shanahan and is unlikely to be far away again.
