Verdict

Lightly-raced 3-y-os FRANBERRI and Quantum Cat top the shortlist. The former finished behind the latter over C&D last time, but she was left with a lot to do and gets the nod to reverse the form on these slightly more favourable terms. Rhythmic Intent shaped well having a rare outing on all-weather at Wolverhampton recently and completes the shortlist.

  1. FRANBERRI
  2. QUANTUM CAT (USA)
