In depth
Verdict
AL AGAILA (NAP) showed progressive form on the all-weather at the turn of year and won the valuable Winter Oaks handicap at Lingfield in January. She goes well fresh and this drop back down in trip is not a problem. Point Lynas went close at York recently and has a shout while the last time Greatgadian won on Turf was on fast ground over course and distance and he finished in front of Encourageable in the Lincoln back in April. Naval Commander and Major Partnership haven’t won for some time now.
