Verdict
The vote goes to DARK MYSTERY, who failed to fire last time but he will have every chance if reproducing the form of his solid placed efforts at Southwell in October. Alfheim is an obvious threat on the back of her recent breakthrough success and is feared most ahead of Trackman. Cases can also be made for Grand Duchess Olga and Black Smoke.
