The progressive KENSINGTON AGENT took the step up in class in her stride when winning at Chelmsford and is only 2lb higher back at this lower level. Coup De Force also has a shout in this grade though hasn’t raced since scoring at Southwell in October while maiden winner Cool Lightning was well beaten in a handicap last time, as was Starsong. Angel Amadea landed a novices' race here last month but this is tougher.
