Verdict

Victory Wave may have won a tougher contest over 7f here last month but Saeed bin Suroor’s mare carries a huge burden in this and AGINCOURT can take advantage. The latter took another step forward when winning at York last time and there looks more to come from David O’Meara’s filly despite a 4lb rise. Elysium Dream went close at Brighton last week but has a bit to prove at this level while Octave continues to struggle and Romola is preferred with last month’s comeback run at Doncaster under her belt.
