Verdict
A few of these are on something of retrieval mission and with the likes of the inconsistent Moving Earth in the field, caution is advised. That said Lord York usually gives a good account of himself and deserves to gain some compensation for some near misses last season. Just Jasmine and Ernest William are others to consider along with Gladiateur IV, who should bounce off the ground and come to tackle the leaders with a late run.
