Cases can be made for a number of these but the tentative vote goes to NITUNA, who is yet to get her head in front but is clearly in top form having hit the crossbar twice last month. Facethepuckout bagged his fifth career win at Naas just over 3 weeks ago, and having picked up back-to-back wins around this time last year, he's put forward as the main danger, with Sirjack Thomas and Yuzu another couple worthy of a mention.
