Most of these have yet to race under any code but GUNNERY SERGEANT won a point-to-point back in February and gets the nod on that basis. Our Seaside Lady has been placed in a points race but a newcomer could prove a bigger threat with the 150,000 euros purchase Criminate, who shares ownership with the selection, making most appeal of those. Robin Des Mana and Ardview Boy are others to note.
