Verdict

There was a lot to like about DANCING IN BRAZIL's debut win at Huntingdon in November and he shades the vote over Fiercely Proud, who changed hands for £125,000 after landing a gamble at Market Rasen. There are 4 other debut winners in the field, with Peribonka River arguably the pick on form.

  1. DANCING IN BRAZIL
  2. FIERCELY PROUD (IRE)
  3. PERIBONKA RIVER (FR)
