Verdict
A dual winner on the all-weather, AGERZAM got off the mark on Turf at Bath last week with a convincing three-length victory. He can shrug off a penalty in this. Archie Stevens has plenty to find with the selection on latest running and Verus Delicia still looks a shade high in the weights on her recent third at Leicester. Wolverhampton winner Mad Endeavour is holding his form well and should be thereabouts again while Lucy The Painter can be given a shout back over 6f.
