Recent winning form is thin on the ground in this but Miss Conway was only beaten a head at Market Rasen last time and Reverse The Charge has been knocking on the door. Duhallowcountry should ensure a decent gallop but he was behind Halcyon Days and Teescomponents Max at Sedgefield last month. AGENTLEMAN made mistakes when behind Bollin Line and Miss Conway at Catterick in February but he looks to have improved since and is likely to handle this fast ground better than most.
