Verdict
Phoenix Glow has been in the mix since winning at Brighton but AGOSTINO looks set to open his account. Runner-up in a higher grade at Lingfield last week, he can race off the same mark in this. Selina's Star found one too good here back over 6f while Ben Dikduk finished in front of Poweredbylove when finishing closer at Kempton.
