Agilete comes out best at the weights but returning from a lengthy absence at this level doesn't boost confidence and AHLAWY is preferred. He won over C&D back in March but has been out of sorts on turf since, though it would be no surprise to see him return to form back on this surface. Empress Leizu scored at this track a fortnight ago, though she has plenty find on today's terms with both the selection and recent Carlisle winner Opus Maximus. Jordaura takes a step up in distance and may be capable of better.
