Star jumper Flying Agent is favourite with Ladbrokes.com.au for one of the feature races at Sandown this afternoon, the Australian Steeple (3900m).

The Amy McDonald trained gelding attempted to lead throughout in the Brierly last time but had to settle for a second to Britannicus ($3.1–$3.3) and is favourite to turn the tables, sitting at $3, slightly out from $2.80, but is best backed.

Britannicus sits on the second line of betting, narrowly, ahead of Tolemac at $3.50. Valac is next best, all the way back at $6.50.
