Verdict

HITMAN has produced his high-class form only once this term but he's favoured by the weights here and this doesn't look a strong renewal. The Real Whacker has been rather over faced this season and will find this assignment much more realistic, while the prolific Easy Game can be expected to bounce back in first-time headgear but does have to give weight all round.

  1. HITMAN (FR)
  2. THE REAL WHACKER (IRE)
  3. EASY GAME (FR)
