Verdict

A case can be made for a few of these but the vote goes to CHERRY COBBLER who made a promising return from an absence when third here last time and can improve sufficiently to bag a second success from just five runs. Brighton victor and stablemate of the selection Merrimack is well in the mix too, with Havana Rum and Twilight Fun others worthy of a second look.

  1. CHERRY COBBLER
  2. MERRIMACK
  3. HAVANA RUM (IRE)
