Verdict
Exeter runner-up Show On The Road needs further so we’ll stick with THE GREY FALCO, who came good dropped into this grade at Haydock. With Jay Tidball taking off 10lb, he is effectively 8lb lower here. Global Agreement carries a penalty but is also partnered by a 10lb claimer and has been in excellent form, winning three times since November. Seventeen O Four needs to reverse Exeter running with Show On The Road but is less exposed and the stiff track will suit. Arthur's Seat also has scope but Homme Public was due to run yesterday at Wetherby.
