Perfect Symphony scored over track and trip last time with Kath's Lustre back in fourth. The latter had earlier beaten Catheadans Fury at Chelmsford but KNOCKABOUT QUEEN makes most appeal. Tony Carroll’s filly won a higher grade sprint at Wolverhampton recently when beating a subsequent winner and is taken to defy a 3lb rise on that form. The Groove and Aguerooo were both placed on their latest starts with the latter preferred as he won last year’s renewal off a higher mark.
