EURO AGENT 9/1

EURO AGENT at 9/1, Gordon Elliott and Jack Kennedy, looks the one to be on. He was only just denied off a similar mark, beaten 1.75L off 102 on 31 August and has a telling booking — upgrade from a 11% rider to 17%.

The dangers are LOVE ME TENDER at 4/7 and TYSON FURY at 6/1 (went close off this mark).

Non-runners: John Gun.
