An interesting novice in prospect with some potentially smart performers in opposition including a strong raid from Ireland. Christy Roche saddles Wouldn't You Agree who bids to maintain his unbeaten status over timber following three fluent victories on home soil and looks ready for this step up in class. The son of Toulon can add to his trainer's impressive record and is a confident TEAMtalk vote as long as the ground does not get too testing. Compatriot Moore's Law is a useful stayer on the level and was probably in need of the outing when a beaten favourite on his recent return over timber so shouldn't be underestimated while Taming was a most decisive 11-length winner over course and distance last time and is another to consider. Jonjo O'Neill introduces newcomer Moscow Society who is thrown in at the deep end for his debut and clearly must be showing something at home so should be noted in the market.
