Verdict
Agentleman beat Chain Of Beacons four lengths at Southwell with Diamond Rock unplaced and he was only beaten a neck at Fontwell later when racing off a 4lb higher mark, though has been raised a further 7lb since. ROLL OF THUNDER has run only twice since landing this last year. He was second off this mark subsequently and can reverse recent Perth form with Cool Valley and Chain Of Beacons with a run under his belt. King Golan won on this card 12 months ago but that was over 3m and he may struggle to dominate over this trip. Ask Robin is best watched on his return to action.
