Verdict
This bunch have yet to rustle up a single win between them but MARGOT ROSE went closest to doing so when runner-up at Southwell last time. She gets a token vote. Frank The Barber also has a second to his name but that was in July last year and he has not raced since September. Swift Susie finished closer on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton in January and may be capable of better but Masipa has gone backwards since a debut fifth at Lingfield
