9/2

Useful hurdler who has translated all that ability to the Flat, completing an AW hat-trick when landing a valuable 2m conditions event at Newcastle on Good Friday. However, out of depth in Gold Cup when last seen in June and looks on a stiff mark for handicap debut.

Aggagio (11/10), Themaxwecan (3/1), Whitehaven (7/2), Morando (4/1), Earlofthecotswolds (9/2), Master Milliner (5/1)

AGGAGIO will appreciate the return to this stiffer test and can enhance his fine course record further. Themaxwecan may give him most to think about.
