Verdict
AGREED showed major improvement when runner-up over a mile here last time behind a subsequent handicap winner. Bred for middle-distances, the Gosden filly looks the one to side with upped in trip. Vega's Angel also steps up in distance after placing at Wolverhampton and should be in the mix once again while Kommodity Kid went close over 1m2f here on his debut and is preferred to the returning Dark Heart.
