Verdict

Those with prior experience set only a fair standard so it could be worth siding with newcomer LONGLANDS, his leading stable operating at a 25% strike rate with their runners in bumpers this season. Tide Is Turning was a promising third on his respective debut and commands plenty of respect. Jetzet, Berkshire Woody and Enya are others to consider, along with Littlebobbydazzler.
