Verdict

While cases can be made for the majority of these, FLEUR IRLANDAISE's claims are the most compelling. Indeed, she appeared to have a bit left up her sleeve when making it 2-2 here earlier in the month and a 5 lb rise looks manageable. Hermocrates earns top marks for consistency and should be in the thick of things, while Kozier and the low-mileage 4-y-o Star Dreamer also enter calculations.
