Agilis was unlucky not to land his hat-trick last time out putting up an improved performance but finding one too good. It is unlikely there is one good enough to deny him this time and Jamie Poulton's charge is a confident TEAMtalk selection despite having to shoulder topweight. He loves this track and loves this trip. Aegean Magic has chances if coping with this step up in trip and market support will be interesting having shown he handles this surface well. Every Note Counts will have his supporters following a narrow win at Wolverhampton two weeks ago but he looks handicapped out of it here. Touch Of Gold tries this particular trip for the first time but has been running well over a mile and over 6f. He is an improver on this surface and could go close at a decent price. Compton Emerald is another improver who has shown he handles this surface and whose stable runners go well here. However his high draw may count against him.
