In depth
Verdict
Plenty of these are open to improvement and it promises to be an informative affair. Agitando is going the right way and has won two of his three outings over hurdles to-date. He acts on most types of ground and remains one to keep on the right side of. As is Old Marsh, who is much better than the bare form exerts. He has given a good account of himself in three previous visits to this course and has developed steadily since making his debut for his current yard last April; after enjoying moderate success on the flat in France. Red Sun and Kaikovra are others to consider, although the last mentioned has become expensive to follow, despite his apparent ability.
