AGGAGIO has been raised 3lb for winning at Goodwood but drops down in class and should confirm running with third-placed Whitehaven. The latter will be sharper for that outing while Malakahna also ran well at Goodwood before returning a losing favourite at Ripon and is preferred to stablemate Justus. Gumball hasn’t raced since May but won over today’s trip at York last autumn.
