Verdict

Colnago has disappointed the last twice now and less exposed types are preferred despite returning from lay-offs including Engelbert. The latter has undergone wind surgery since last in action but AMY SANTIAGO finished in front of a couple of subsequent winners when runner-up at Thirsk last summer and she gets a the vote to make a winning reappearance. Nwaira is related to several winners while Fox Master and Pub Club are others to note.
