BAGS GROOVE looks the most likely winner and was unlucky not to score last time out, hanging on the run in; could well prove very popular in the betting here. Agamemmon might prove some value against the likley favourite after running a nice race in an Ascot bumper. With Richard Johnson taking the ride, there's plenty to like about his chance. Steely Addition made a promising debut under rules and may well build on that performance,. 1. Bags Groove 2. Agamemmon 3. Steely Addition
