Lots with chances but BLOSSOM DE MAI returned better than ever with a stylish success at Tramore so looks the way to go. Upthereforthinking is much less exposed and rates a big threat with this return to a longer trip a likely plus, although a solid case can also be made for the likes of Read To Return, Lets Do This and Ferrum.
