Verdict
This closing event looks a tight affair but marginal preference is for Absolute charmer who comes out best on official ratings and whose Kempton run last time suggested his turn wouldn't be far away. Clipperton is sure to prove popular but he does look a shade one paced and has to give weight away to his rivals. Both Tobago Fizz and Dalriath are relatively unexposed and could have some improvement in them and any serious market move could prove significant.
