Several have been threatening a return to winning ways and Jeff Koons has gone close at Ascot the last twice. AL AGAILA (NAP) has been keeping better company on Turf but has won three of his four outings on the Polytrack so far and returns to this surface only 2lb higher than when last successful. Rhythm N Rock is not the most reliable while last month’s Ayr winner Revich has yet to score on the all-weather. Urban Sprawl placed at Chelmsford recently while Bodorgan is fitted with a tongue-tie for his debut on the all-weather.
