Agent Valdez is still 6lb higher than when scoring at Leicester in December but she didn’t have much luck at Warwick last time when badly hampered and unseating her rider. The champion takes over the reins but we’d rather take a chance on the returning LIFFEYDALE DREAMER, who could improve for wind surgery and drops further in the weights. Louloumills is a previous course winner but, like the others, hard to recommend on recent form.
