Verdict

The eye-catching effort of OSCAR'S SONG last time out suggests that winning off such a mark should be well within her compass and granted a better ride under a very good apprentice she ought to take all of the beating. New Millennium also ran well last time out and there aren't too many miles on the clock with him so he could be ready to step forward, especially given the form of the Hobbs team. There are a few here with modest form but reason to suggest improvement and the best of them could well be Status Quo.
  1. Oscar's Song
  2. New Millennium
  3. Status Quo
