This promises to be the best race of the night and GREEN AGENDA is taken to overcome a penalty and complete a hat-trick at the expense of Mirrored, and Yellow Printer. The Mark Johnston stable is flying at the moment and the selection has been part of that success. An easy winner of a slightly weaker race in quick conditions at Thirsk last time he won with plenty to spare and that victory was his fourth win five starts this year. He won with plenty in hand during that last success, suggesting the penalty is no problem, and is record on Polytrack is two wins from three starts. Mirrored could be nicely treated on his handicap debut based on the form from his penultimate run and while he showed he can act on polytrack when racing at Lingfield last time out the form is looking a little weak. Yellow Printer looks a little up against it on his handicap bow conceding weight all around but any market support would be interesting for this one with the yard in cracking form. Woolston Ferry has won his last two starts but they have been in claiming company and he looks to have more to do this time while Charlotte Point looks to be at the right rating after some good displays in maidens. This is a decent looking contest where Green Agenda looks to have solid claims.
