held up last, ridden 2f out, stayed on final furlong but not getting to winner
led at strong pace, nudged along 3f out, ridden 2f out, headed just over 1f out, weakened inside final furlong
Accidental Agent is not the force of old though won a handicap at Newmarket in July. But AL SUHAIL has an advantage at the weights and though disappointing in the Hungerford at Newbury last time, a repeat of his earlier third in the Group 2 Summer Mile at Ascot should see him come out best in this. Thirsk runner-up Azano has a difficult task on these terms though ran well in Listed company earlier.
