Verdict
Agiaal appeared not to stay over 1m3f at Kempton on his reappearance, so it's no surprise to see him back over today's distance and he's a leading contender. Guards Chapel has shown nothing so far but stablemate DUBAI QUEEN is held in high regard. She did well to finish a close-up second at Lingfield in October given her slow start and Luca Cumani's filly should be up to winning one of these races if she's to take up her engagement in the Coronation Stakes next month. Better is expected from both Illandrane and Sleek Gold this year, with Trojan Nights and Another Whisper others to consider.
