Verdict
KNOCK STARS scored at Dundalk on Friday and has won on ground with plenty of give in the past. He's 2lb lower on Turf and though penalised still looks on a good enough mark to complete a quick double. Versilia Gal will love the ground but rarely competes at a trip this short nowadays and scored over 7f at Sligo on her penultimate start. Allegra Tak has been competing at a much higher level since her early season double on soft ground and she looks certain to get competitive but More Questions gained his only victory over 6f on fast going. Kentra won twice on soft ground at Longchamp last year but her recent runs for new connections have been over much longer trips, including 1m4f at Listowel.
