Several of these have won between the flags and are worth a market check. That list includes Western Honour, Pontresina, Gowiththeflow and Chooseyourweapon while The Devils Drop has also shown promise in a point-to-point. Luckime and PLUS ONE both graduate from bumpers and it is Jonjo O'Neill's Wetherby runner-up who gets the nod given he will have strengthened up over the summer and has already won a point. Barbrook Star looks the pick of those with hurdling experience.
