Verdict

There should be plenty more to come from REVEREND HUBERT based on his Flat ability and this looks a great chance for him to open his account at the third attempt. Marv Michael and Ringdufferin are the obvious threats.

  1. REVEREND HUBERT (IRE)
  2. MARV MICHAEL (IRE)
  3. RINGDUFFERIN (IRE)
