Verdict

Most of these are bred to improve for middle distances and are low-mileage in handicaps, making it look a tough puzzle to solve. NUMBERONESON gets the tentative pick as one who has been steadily progressive and has a touch of class. Stablemate Juliet Rose and the impeccably-bred Holy Roman Empress are others to make appeal on paper, while The Truant took a step forward last time, and could go well at a bigger price.
  1. Numberoneson
  2. Juliet Rose
  3. The Truant
