Forecasts
Archimedes (15/8), Secret Agent (11/4), Babyfact (11/4), Go Amber Go (5/1), Emjayem (16/1)
The one who appeals most is SECRET AGENT, who has been running very well so far this year and ran a very good second over slightly further at this course last month. Raised only 1lb it's very likely that first time cheek pieces could bring about further improvement, and, crucially, he seems to be the only contender in the field who is still steadily progressing. He is preferred to course specialist Babyfact, who ran a big race at Newbury last time out, and Go Amber Go, who may prefer further but is still respected as a previous C&D scorer.
