ASSERTIVE AGENT won a maiden race on the Polytrack here in November. He's gone close of today's mark in a handicap since and gets the nod in an uninspiring sprint. Red Invader needs to step up on his latest fourth at Warwick to figure but Picc Of Burgau may get involved back on a fast surface. Birdie Queen was headed by the selection on the all-weather here last year and has yet to win a race, and Tiger's Home looks a bigger threat if rediscovering the form that saw her win off today's mark at Bath in September.
