Verdict

Witness Of Fashion will no doubt give it a good go of a repeat victory at the age of 13 but THE CHURCH GATE is on a roll over hurdles and if taking that form over to the larger obstacles can complete the hat-trick. School Lane completes the short list.
  1. The Church Gate
  2. Witness Of Fashion
