Verdict

Not too many of these arrive in form compelling to their cases so it looks a good opportunity for Clive Cox's GOLDEN FORCE to follow up his Leicester win last time out. Swift Approval is always a threat when getting his own way upfront and he may prove the biggest danger although I Am A Dreamer is also the sort who can spring forward when least expected.
  1. Golden Force
  2. Swift Approval
  3. I Am A Dreamer
