Fine chance for Joint Agreement to get off mark

JOINT AGREEMENT, a useful staying handicapper over flights, has a leading chance in the Bet With The Tote Beginners Chase at Downpatrick this afternoon.

Admittedly, he has hardly set the world alight in three outings over fences to date, but there was sufficient promise in his efforts to indicate a little contest such as this is within his capabilities.

On his latest appearance, Ted Walsh's charge finished a respectable enough eight behind Kill Devil Hill at Punchestown.
