Verdict

Fairly hard to see beyond the “big two” of BEYOND THE CLOUDS and Golden Jeffrey here with the latter already attaining a mark of 132 and the latter looking as though he’ll be rated higher than that and they should and will dominate the market. The others look to be running for places and handicap marks although that means they may not want to get too near the two already highlighted. Royal Mandate and Wotabreeze have already clashed once and there might not be much between those two again with Pumaflor another to look out for if his temperament holds up. Kelpies Myth and Permission Granted are two to watch with regard to handicaps further down the line.
  1. Beyond The Clouds
  2. Golden Jeffrey
  3. Wotabreeze
