Verdict

The recent C&D contest won by Chosen World also featured Rey Loopy, Dirchill and Harvest Day. The winner of that race may come out on top again, but it is hard to be dogmatic about that so a chance is taken on FINGAL'S CAVE reacting positively to first-time cheekpieces. Admiral Rooke is worth keeping an eye on with the future in mind, while it would be folly to write off Smugglers Creek, who boasts good C&D form and is tried in a visor.
