Verdict

Since joining the Gary Moore yard AGENT OF FORTUNE has gone from strength-to-strength and a 5lb penalty looks unlikely to stop her in a bid for a four-timer as she won with plenty in hand last time and is already a C&D winner. Most of the others have plenty to prove although Holy Tiber did show more last time despite not getting the run of the race; she looks well handicapped now. Just An Idea a C&D winner last time out needs to prove that she can reproduce that sort of performance off a 4lb higher mark but should go well in a race that lacks any depth. Both Gunmaker and Brigand could be considered but neither are the most reliable.
  1. Agent Of Fortune
  2. Holy Tiber
  3. Just An Idea
