Verdict
Heavy ground is an unknown for these two-year-olds but PERFECT SYMPHONY has the best form on faster going. Narrowly beaten at Thirsk in July, Kevin Ryan’s colt has the beating of Nottingham runner-up Party Tiger on these terms and gets a tentative vote. Hee Haw finished ahead of X Rated when a well beaten second at Hamilton and the latter’s stablemate and newcomer Love Power, a half-brother to five winners including smart sprinter Hitchens, makes most appeal of the newcomers ahead of Cryptonite.
