Verdict

AGUELLID produced a most promising effort on British debut and should prove capable of much better, so is taken to get the better of the penalised C&D winner Vol Royale. Completing the shortlist is Lyric, who was above average at his best on the Flat and rates as an interesting newcomer to hurdling.
