15:40 Plumpton

In a race where I am keen to take on the market principals GLOBAL AGREEMENT (best price 7/1) makes plenty of appeal at 7/1 to bounce back for Milton Harris. This horse is still just a 5yo and I know his last two efforts have left something to be desired but his win at Carlisle back in February was quite impressive. He was never travelling when down the field at Sandown last time and I can see a combination of this track coupled with the better ground helping him bounce back to form. The handicapper has dropped him a 1lb and I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t at the very least get competitive. He goes back up in trip too which might help him find his stride before looking to stay on best. Bourbali won well at Sandown but a 7lb rise looks enough to me. Lord Baddesley continues to prove expensive to follow so dangers thin on the ground.
