Most are making their chasing debut but AGAMEMMON opened his account over fences with a victory at Market Rasen in May. That was his first start of the year so he obviously goes well fresh and can go in again. Burst Ya Bubble is 7lb higher than when winning over hurdles at Warwick back in April but Early Retirement landed a double over hurdles last year, including a race on this card, and is another that has gone well fresh before. Rhaegar has undergone wind surgery since last seen in action in April and is preferred to Billy Hicks and Big Penny.
