Verdict

MITIVA has been shaping up quite well in similar company lately and might be the way to go. Henry de Bromhead's Whotookthebiscuit should have more to offer on the back of last month's Clonmel maiden success and is an obvious danger. Ardera Ru and Mollys Glory are others who could have a say.
