In depth
Verdict
Ela Agapi Mou, would have shown these a clean pair of heels at his best, but it is over three years since he last had his head in front. The drop in class could be just what he needs. Wild Hadeer the winner of a seller at Towcester, drops back to this grade after being outclassed in his latest effort and off only a 3lb higher mark, he will take some beating. Charles Spencelayh, who has shown next to nothing so far over hurdles, takes a drop in class and will have the assistance of the champion.
