GLOBAL AGREEMENT never threatened all-the-way winner Naizagai at Cartmel but was the only one to finish within touching distance of the favourite and he can build on that experience today. Fraterculus was a well-beaten fourth and Billy The Squid has looked nothing special so a newcomer may be a bigger danger. Topkapi Star may be the best of these with her yard in good form at present.
