Verdict

HIGHLIGHTER's pedigree suggests he could have more to offer now stepping up to 1½m so he's the suggestion. Fellow unexposed sort Big Cheese is an interesting opponent, particularly if the betting vibes are positive on his return to action. Claritudo hit the ground running last spring and also makes the shortlist.

  1. HIGHLIGHTER (IRE)
  2. BIG CHEESE (FR)
  3. CLARITUDO
