Verdict
Both Zeb Spirit and Hereia have a bit to prove at present having rather lost their way last season but Global Tour is almost guaranteed to run his race while Grapevine and Get Back Get Back are fit from the Flat. The evergreen HALLINGS COMET bounces off this ground and usually takes no prisoners. If Shaun Lycett’s veteran is fully wound-up, he might take some pegging back around here. Shiroccan Roll looks the pick of the remainder.
