Joseph Mercer (1/1), Snapping Turtle (6/1), Acadian (13/2), Fresh By Nature (7/1), Tuscan Gold (8/1), Darsi Dancer (10/1), Agent Louise (25/1)

AGENT LOUISE can cause a shock by claiming the final race on the card. The selection showed glimpses of a possible return to form prior to pulling up lame at Catterick on her most recent outing last month. The mare has a good record here over this trip (2/3) with both successes coming on the soft ground she's likely to encounter today and she can gain a fourth career success at the expense of Joseph Mercer a C&D winner last week who turns out under a penalty here and Tuscan Gold who has been in good form of late but who may prefer slightly better ground than he's likely to encounter in this. 1. Agent Louise 2. Joseph Mercer 3. Tuscan Gold
