All newcomers in the line-up, with the vote going to ROYAL HERITAGE whose sales price rose significantly for his much-respected connections. He represents a yard among the winners and is preferred ahead of Casino Star, who also makes plenty of appeal on paper, while Desert Move is another to watch out for.
