Verdict

Agravain gained his third victory in Class 6 handicaps at Beverley on Friday and has a penalty to carry. He was well beaten when tackling this grade here earlier but Manton Warrior had no problems scoring in this class at Chelmsford and a 4lb rise doesn't look insurmountable. Calling The Wind had all of his runs, including two victories, on the all-weather last season and something was obviously amiss when he finished tailed off on his reappearance at Musselburgh. Euro Implosion stepped up to 1m3f at Carlisle and ran his best race to date but JUST HUBERT looks the one to be on as he's been racing in better company over this trip and the in-form Danny Tudhope has been booked.
