Verdict

This very much looks to boil down to a head-to-head between WHAT HAPPENS NOW and Ebony Rose with the former from a yard that are going well at the moment and might just be a better traveller despite having to concede weight all round. Hard to construct much of a case for anything beyond those two given what they have shown so far with Luso Benny and Ginny Brig two that might battle it out for the minor placings.
