Verdict
A couple arrive on the back of placed efforts over track and trip though Crank Em Up is having his first outing since January so AGAMEMMON is preferred. The latter has the more recent form, finishing runner-up off today’s mark here last month having slipped down the weights - Henry Oliver’s charge looks set for a return to winning ways on that evidence. Boric is not badly treated reverting to chasing after last month’s reappearance over timber while Micky Hammond sent out last year’s winner but Justforjames has done most of his winning on faster going.
