AGUAPLANO looks to have the strongest form having shown a big improvement at Newcastle last time. Beaten less than a length on that occasion, he’s preferred to Reticent. The latter has a chance on her fourth at Kempton with this extra distance likely to suit and makes more appeal than stablemate City Spirit while Charles St is related to four winners including the useful stayer Watersmeet and is a newcomer to note.
