In depth
Verdict
A real rouges gallery and they all have flaws that are slightly off-putting. However, something has to win and the drop in class for Penny Ha'Penny is enough to swing the vote in his favour. College Maid may just find the ground a little too fast so Mary Jane and Columbine may fight it out for the forecast slot. However, neither have been noted for their consistency so a combination forecast may be the best policy for an exotic bet. Penny Ha'penny ran much better than his finishing position would suggest in his latest outing and this lesser grade will see him in a better light today.
