Recent winner Woolfall Blue looks set for another good run here , but we will the vote to the lightly raced Very agreeable, with John Terry also expected to play a major role. The selection won at the third tiime of asking when beating the 92 rated Topjeu, with some decent types behind. She gets into this handicap on a mark of 86 which certainly means she looks fairly treated. Woolfall Blue was successful over course and distance at the end of last month, a deserved victory following some solid efforts. With that win under his belt he will prove hard to beat this afternoon John Terry has taken on good opposition since his two-year-old debut success, but the handicapper refuses to give him a break and it is hard to see him winning this but he could run into a place. Paraguay and Robustian are two others in witha squeak, but our idea of the winner is Very Agreeable.A
