Verdict

Only two have run in a bumper and they have not achieved much. ISHOLO DU VIVIEN and Walk On Quest therefore seem the most plausible candidates, having achieved something in the Irish point scene and joined leading yards, with the former having been in recent action with his point win last month. Kinbara Firstdraft needs a second look given the record of his trainer in these events.[Richard Austen]
