Formscan  - Agapanther ended her summer campaign in Jersey with two solid runner-up efforts and she must enter calculations on the back of a 43-day break. However, STINTINO SUNSET's latest second at Bath looks slightly stronger and, off an unchanged mark, the five-year-old edges the vote. Kirkuila performed better than her recent third at Ffos Las suggests and Faye Bramley's mare is worth a second look too.
