Verdict

Peaks Of Fire invariably finds at least one too good and most of these struggle to get their heads in front in general. Itstooearly has won this season but that was back in June and she was pulled up when last seen in August. The four-year-old Rano Pano only won a seller at Ludlow in October, but has won a maiden on the Polytrack since. Stanley Bridge and HIGHLAND LOVE are both regulars here and, though the former is the more reliable, it was the latter that came out on top when the pair clashed at Wetherby last month. If he's on his best behaviour, Jedd O'Keefe's charge could be the one to be on though Bocamix and Iktiview wouldn't be without a chance if back on song.
