        Verdict

        Very Agreeable is narrowly preferred to Kalandara and Thumpers Dream in this tight contest. The selection is a lightly-raced filly and she was an impressive second last time out behind Millistar at Kempton. She gave the impression that day that she would benefit from the run and she is taken to score. Kalandara finished down the field behind our selection in that same Kempton race but she did miss the break that day so ran respectably under the circumstances and she is not one to dismiss lightly. Thumpers Dream was a fair third behind Acts Of Grace at Pontefract last time and she gave the impression that the step-up to this trip would suit. With this in mind she is one to note in the market. Ninetails is from a yard that merits plenty of respect in these type of events but she also finished behind our selection on her debut and consequently we are happy to stick with Very Agreeable who looks the one that all have to beat.
