Verdict

FAME AND ACCLAIM ran a cracker when runner-up over C&D last month and, with the performance backed up by the timefigure, he gets the nod to go one better here. This is ultra-competitive though, with the progressive Layfayette, Bopedro and Fil The Power just three potential threats.

  1. FAME AND ACCLAIM (IRE)
  2. LAYFAYETTE (IRE)
  3. BOPEDRO (FR)
