Verdict
AMERICAN GIGOLO (NAP) chased home the now 139-rated Stowaway Magic at Doncaster back in January and will find this a lot easier than the Grade 1 he contested last month at Aintree. New Agenda showed promise in a couple of runs here in the autumn and has been in good form on the all-weather since so is probably the danger ahead of recent Plumpton third Sixties Idol. Marmont should find a small handicap this summer while Ocean Eleven is preferred to Sandy Cove of the Flat winners making their hurdling debuts.
