Verdict
It's hard to confidently rule out many of these. Bellerophon is respected, however, is off a much higher mark than last time while Jabari Thimba is capable of getting involved. However, DRUMNADROCHIT is put forward as the selection. She has shown she can get her head in front and is entitled to make her presence felt in first-time blinkers.
