Verdict

The weaker of the two divisions with only a small handful appealing as betting propositions. BIRDS OF PREY, a useful recruit from the Flat, is forwarded in the hope he can make progress over hurdles, while Paxman and Oriental Flame are a couple of others worthy of consideration. A betting market move for Vards could also prove to be significant.
  1. Birds Of Prey
  2. Paxman
  3. Oriental Flame
