        Verdict

        Agilete was good value for his win in a claimer here two starts ago and ran well in a handicap last time but a 5lb rise since then makes life tougher for Jeff Pearce's gelding and a better bet may be INSIDE STORY, who is preferred to Penang Cinta. The last mentioned is trained by David Evans who has his string in fair form and he has shown enough to suggest that he could take a hand in the finish in this company. Nick Vaughan's Emerald Rock is less exposed than most of these after just three starts but he looks plenty high enough in the weights for what he has achieved, while the ex-Irish Redwater River has shown little in two starts in the UK. Pelham Crescent has run creditably in his last two starts and has to be respected but a better option looks to be Inside Story. Conor Dore's gelding has done little wrong in recent starts and a reproduction of that may well suffice.
