New Agenda is eased in grade and was placed on the all-weather earlier this month – he could be interesting in this, despite top weight. Working Class has yet to win over hurdles but went close at Huntingdon in the spring and is only 2lb higher with a 7lb claimer on board. MONDAY CLUB’s rider also takes off 7lb and that wipes out the 4lb rise for winning at Uttoxeter last month. Cock A Doodle Doo only won a maiden in Ireland but may well improve for the switch to Dan Skelton and she’s getting plenty of weight from the likes of Contre Tous and Mick Maestro. Trigger Nichol may need this but is worth a market check.
