Butler can serve up a treat with Agente.

Byline: By NAOMI MATTHEW

SUBSEQUENT Derby winner Sir Percy landed the KJ Pike & Sons Ltd Auction Stakes (4.05) at Salisbury in 2005 and, though we may not see a future Classic winner in this year's renewal, Agente Parmigiano certainly looks classy enough to add his name to the roll of honour.

Gerard Butler's juvenile made a promising debut before disappointing slightly behind Icesolator in Listed company at Sandown.

That flop came on soft ground, which may well not have suited, as the son of Captain Rio left the form well behind when rocketing in on a sounder surface at Yarmouth last time.

His four-length stroll that day came against weaker opposition but the runnerup, Pyrrha, has since won cosily to suggest the form is very solid.

Veterans get their chance to shine in the KJ Pike & Sons Seniors' Sprint Handicap (2.55), which could go the way of Bahamian Ballet.

Ed McMahon's charge has struggled in better company of late but this looks a much easier proposition for the six-year-old.

Porthole returns to the scene of his emphatic maiden success and can score on his handicap debut in the totesport Betxtra Show Only Handicap (3.40) at Windsor.

Take The Stand has looked a rejuvenated force in the hunter chase sphere and appears to have been given a chance by the handicapper as he bids to regain his Britannia Building Society English Summer National (4.25) crown at Uttoxeter.
