Verdict

BLACK CAB was operating firmly at the top of his game when last seen in the spring and with the booking of Billy Loughnane firmly catching the eye back from a break, he could well be the way to go. Ellie's de Vega is proving consistent over a variety of trips and is feared, with Let's Go Hugo also making each-way appeal at likely longer odds.
