Verdict

While several of these have appealing claims, FAMOUS BRIDGE is clearly going from strength-to-strength and he is taken to take another step up the ladder by bagging this prize. Nicky Richards' charge may have most to fear from Forward Plan, who had a handful of these rivals behind when scoring over C&D last time and he remains on a feasible mark. The hat-trick seeking Surrey Quest and Irish-raider Sweet Will both enter calculations, while Erne River is also worthy of consideration.
