AGRICULTURAL is making steady progress over fences and, racing off the same mark as when second to Gud Day at Perth, can get his head in front today. Spitfire Ace has been placed between the flags so may do better now his attention is switched to chasing, a remark that also applies to Ballycool. Streams Of Whiskey probably needs further but the stiff track will suit and as he has won over hurdles, as has King's Chorister.
