Verdict
Ashley Brook was a good second behind Rakaposhi Lass on her debut, is sure to have come on for the run and will not be far away in similar conditions. Radcliffe is from a top yard which has a good strike rate in this sphere and is worth a look in the market. Troysgreen is also from a yard in top form and is worth a look as well. Beechwood also got a good mention in his trainer's trainer stable file, while Still Speedy also hails from a top yard but has an inexperienced rider aboard. Toulouse is well bred and may be one to keep an eye on with a view to the future. The market will prove the best guide as to what is expected of the remainder of the field. The TEAMtalk vote goes to Still Speedy.
