Accidental Agent is a Group 1 winner but he’s developed a mind of his own and is clearly not the force of old. Librisa Breeze has also won at the highest level and has been successful over track and trip in the past, though the grey has not raced over 1m in more than three years. Richard Hannon holds a strong hand with Oh This Is Us preferred to the in-form War Glory in this company but there are several three-year-olds who may have a bit more scope. Khuzaam impressively landed the odds in a handicap here last month and is now 2-2 here but PREENING might offer more vale. Unlucky in-running last time at Lingfield, she was a close second in a Group 3 earlier at Doncaster and also runner-up here in April in a contest similar to today’s.
