Verdict
Furiant beat lesser opposition than this at Catterick back in October and steps up in class on his reappearance along with recent course and distance winner Pink Martini. Aguerooo is tough and consistent and wore down Kingsley Klarion to win by a neck over 6f here last time under today's apprentice. But collateral form with the latter suggests ILLEGALLY BLONDE has the measure of Aguerooo and Jamie Osborne's filly gets the nod having recently returned from Meydan where she failed to figure in a couple of tough conditions races over 7f.
