Gud Day travels well in his races but doesn't always find a great deal when push comes to shove, as was the case at Worcester last time. Muwalla delivered at Sedgefield earlier this month, however, and a 6lb rise seems fair. He's preferred to Toledo Gold, who has been a tad disappointing since winning over track and trip in June, and Breeze With Ease but AGRICULTURAL is well worth a second look. He improved on his chasing debut when behind Toledo Gold at Hexham to finish second over 2m5f here last time and further progress suggests he'll go well getting plenty of weight from three of his four rivals.
