In depth

Verdict

The ex-Irish Wouldn't You Agree looks to have a been found the ideal opening on his British debut and can see off the likes of Maconnor and company. The selection, a winner of five of his ten outings in his native country stays much further than this and as he has made the running in the past, he should be able to make his stamina count. After beating Fait Le Jojo at Huntingdon last year, Under The Sand struggled with the Handicapper and it is no surprise to see his attentions switched to chasing. He is sure to have been well schooled and as he is by Turtle Island he will not mind the forecast rain. The lightly-raced Maconnor showed plenty of promise over timber without actually getting his head in front. He has the scope to do well at this game and while he may be playing for places in this, he can pay his way in due course. So, in what should prove an informative contest, Wouldn't You Agree can make his experience count against the chasing debutantes Under The Sand and Maconnor.
