Formscan - AL AGAILA has taken a big step forward on her last couple of starts, having followed up a Kempton novice success by proving to be well ahead of the handicapper with a facile victory over C&D just before Christmas. An 11lb rise is unlikely to stop the daughter of Lope De Vega from progressing, given the manner of that performance, and it would be no surprise to see her gaining black-type in the near future. Purple Ribbon remains unexposed on her sixth career start and comes into this off the back of a career-best effort when runner-up to a course specialist in Belloccio at Kempton in November. Makinmedoit, who was runner-up to the selection last time, and Morgan Fairy are both likely to be competitive.
