        Verdict

        Special Agenda has proved frustrating to follow but he can take this race at the expense of L'Etang Bleu and Fear Siuil. Charlie Mann's charge invariably manages to hit the frame while finding one or two too good for him. Fear Siuil is undoubtedly the class act of the field. His better form is on softer and with a sizeable absence to overcome, we will look to him with an eye on the future. L'Etang Bleu was a plater over hurdles but he jumped well before capsizing at the last on his chasing debut. Today's contest is much tougher. Corletto has failed to live up to the high expectations that were made of him when arriving in this country while Ghutah would have preferred faster ground. North Of Kala was making his racecourse reappearance after 656 days off when finishing second in selling company. His defeat was probably down to ring rustyness and he should be capable of improved form on this occasion.
