Agent Of Fortune had leading claims at Chelmsford yesterday and would carry a penalty in this if successful along with NOBLE PEACE. The latter carries 4lb extra having landed a double over 1m2f here with last week’s success but Simon Pearce’s progressive charge had also won over track and trip last month and looks worth sticking with in his current form. Pentimento faced a tougher task at Kempton last time and can finish closer in this while Dr Jekyll is open to improvement handicapping for the first time.
