Verdict

This has a wide-open feel and it could be worth siding with PENGUIN ISLAND. She's gone close from similar marks previously and with the return to the minimum trip holding no fears on the back of a short break, it would come as no surprise to see make a bold bid. Symbol of Hope has been in good heart at Bath and is a threat, with Ray Vonn one to monitor also. Level Up completes the shortlist.

  1. PENGUIN ISLAND
  2. SYMBOL OF HOPE
  3. RAY VONN (IRE)
