It's hard to get away from the claims of CARDSHARP and Haddaf who both produced impressive debuts with a narrow preference for the former here. He could be a tough nut to crack from the front while the latter could do better if he settles better. Any market support for Zabaletaswansong would be interesting but he will probably want further than this.
