Agentleman has proved admirably consistent since joining the Winks team in 2018 and should be on the premises once again with Kane Yeoman's 7lb claim an added bonus. The drop down to 2m paid maximum dividends for KHAIRAGASH (NAP) and Lucy Turner when the combination dotted up at Ffos Las last month. There should be more to come from the 6-y-o as that was just a second start over fences and he's expected to go close despite a harsh-looking 10lb punishment from the handicapper. Hurricane Rota cruised home at Southwell a matter of days ago on a first start since wind surgery and will be a major threat if repeating that level under a 7lb penalty.
