      Verdict

      The Wonga Coup is still a maiden and Agapanthus showed nothing on his recent return to the Flat. Penang Cinta has been on the downgrade since winning here at this time last year so this looks between the two at the top of the handicap. Celestial Girl won twice over 1m2f here last year but may just need this on her first start since October and is for ALUBARI. His recent seven-length defeat at Yarmouth was a better effort than it looks on paper as his saddle had slipped forward in the early stages. Dave Simcock's charge can take this with normal luck in-running.
