Verdict
A tight affair on the figures. Nightmareonelmst certainly isn't out of it while One Pepper and Golden Ratio have pedigrees which catch the eye. However, TOMMY GREANEY is the one to side with. He has a pedigree which appeals in the context of this race and he looks the pick of the debutants.
