The market will be informative here with several point recruits to consider but RICKETY BRIDGE has transferred to Paul Nicholls following an easy win between the flags so he's awarded the vote. Huckleberry Sting is another very likely type on paper, with West Warhouse just about the pick of those with previous form.
