Verdict

HARBOUR ISLAND and Drayton Flyer are both appealing on pedigree and represent the same connections that do well in this sphere, so they might be the pair to concentrate on, with the first name marginally preferred. Blue Bellamy has experience and should go well again.

  1. HARBOUR ISLAND (FR)
