Verdict

The betting should reveal plenty but Alastair Ralph's new ex-Irish recruit PICTURE OF YOU has some fairly useful form to her name so is taken to make light of an absence and get off the mark. Both Crying Lightning and Youhadmeathello offer potential starting out in this sphere though and could emerge as big threats in that order.
