In depth
Verdict
Shalbeblue enjoyed a successful season last term, but he looks high enough in the weights at present, while the front running Little Flora will ensure there is no hanging around. Plutocrat, dropped 3lb, is still 13lb higher than his last winning mark. Brave Vision, hasn't always looked the most resolute horse in training, but he gets plenty of weight from the principals and can make them all go.
