Verdict

This may boil down to a straight match between NOT ANOTHER MUDDLE and Potters Approach, who have both shaped with plenty of promise so far. The former showed a very likeable attitude last time out and may be too resilient if this develops into a scrap fr the line in testing ground. Safe Harbour appeals as the best of the rest. 1. Not Another Muddle 2. Potters Approach 3. Safe Harbour
