Agent Of Fortune has won a couple of lowly classified races this month but carries a double penalty back in a handicap and Prince Rock has been raised 7lb after scoring over track and trip. The latter won easily on that occasion and is still expected to confirm latest running with both Your Choice and Maazel but KODILINE (NAP) is preferred. He only won a selling handicap over course and distance a week ago but beat higher-rated horses than these and David Evans’ charge was winning off a much higher mark here early in the year. Brigand went close at the track last month though has had no luck with the draw today.
