Verdict
AGENT FEDORA will likely be a very short price for this having overcome trouble in-running when scoring by four lengths at Towcester last week. She has a penalty but still receives weight from opposition that looks modest in the extreme. Exclusive Dancer was tailed off in a pipe-opener on the Flat last month but could still be the one for forecast-backers as neither Lemon Grove nor Ellistrin Belle have seen action recently and appeared to be going backwards in the spring.
