This ought to be straightforward for MULTICULTURE, who looks way too progressive for this lot and, granted a clear round, it is hard to envisage him not adding to his tally. Jupiter's Gift and Sheelbewhatsheelbe get the mares' allowances and make the most appeal out of the rest. Both have a huge amount of improvement to find and cannot be recommended for anything other than a place in the frame.
