Verdict
Knockout Blow bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins having beaten several of these last time, including third-placed LITTLE MISS LILLY. But that was the latter’s first outing for nearly a year and, with Amelia Glass taking 7lb off her back today, she’s taken to reverse running and come out best. Catheadans Fury, Perfect Symphony, Mercers and Porto Ferro all finished behind the selection last time though the first-named had to be switched and may finish closer with a clear run. Royal Dynasty should do better back over today’s trip but Falcao’s only win on the all-weather in 18 attempts so far came at Southwell.
