GLOBAL AGREEMENT (NAP) is worth another try over this trip as he was second to a subsequent winner at Fontwell before going one better at Wetherby. He also won on heavy going here earlier and still looks to be on a decent mark. Chepstow maiden winner Nothin To Ask looks capable of making further progress on his handicap debut but Ray's The One couldn’t cope with a 7lb rise at Fakenham. Jazz King is proving hard to place but there is almost certainly more to come from Shearer and he has more scope than Gerico Ville and Triple Trade.
