Mount Ararat has the highest rating of these though his best run came on Tapeta and he's run poorly this year. Blindingly produced a very encouraging run on his debut at Newcastle and was well supported on a return visit but pulled too hard and was never competitive, Spiorad showed a bit of potential for Dermot Weld and David O'Meara will get the best from him but stable companion KINGDOM BRUNEL probably has more of a chance having improved with each run in his first campaign and likely to make further progress. Katinka's best run in France came on soft ground.
