Verdict
Lunar Crystal, Ragdale Hall and Taming could prove to be a little too tough for this lot and it may pay to concentrate any support between this improving trio. The firmer ground was put forward as the reason behind Taming's resurgent form of late and it may pay to side with the mount of Brian Crowley in spoiling the party for Messieurs McCoy and Johnson.
