It's difficult to make a case for many of these. It's more than three years since the mare DEFINITLEY LOVELY last saw a racecourse but she wouldn't still be in training if she hadn't retained some ability and these are a poor bunch so she gets the nod. Veyranno and Matripajo are probably the pair with most scope but they'll need to leave some very modest form in hurdle races behind them. High Aspirations has won a point-to-point but has shown little so far under Rules.
