Much revolves around Sehayli who landed a massive gamble last season as part of a 16-day hat-trick. Last seen in November 2020, note how he goes in the market on this comeback run for a new yard. Avithos seeks her own hat-trick but has been off since February and is possibly best watched, although again the market should be useful. Catbird Seat may need more time and has it to do off topweight against his elders and FLOY JOY makes more appeal. He's not most consistent performer in the book but something close to his best would give him every chance in this company. Money for Thundersockssundae would be significant on seasonal reappearance.
