Rare to see a past Group 1 Royal Ascot winner in a Class 2 handicap but Accidental Agent is here attempting to concede weight all round. He sports first-time blinkers at the age of seven and cannot be ruled out if they have the desired effect and he's on a going day. Course and distance winner Tomfre hasn't managed to get his head in front in 2021 but has performed with credit and is shortlsted with conditions to suit. Orbaan and Boardman also appeal in a wide-open affair but FRESH has a touch of class about him and may just relish this additional furlong on ground he handles. He'll almost certainly arrive late on the scene but Shoemark is riding well at present and hopefully can weave a winning way through.
