Secret Agent has a very long absence to overcome and though five of last year's six runs were on this track his only victory was at Salisbury. KING CRIMSON hasn't won since 2016 but is on such a lowly mark that he has to be considered, especially after a good run at Chelmsford, so gets the nod. All three of Fareeq's victories have come on the all-weather but Jaganory hardly runs anywhere else but here these days and is perfectly capable of grabbing the prize. Met By Moonlight does best on the all-weather and course and distance winner Molly Jones was running poorly when last seen.
