Verdict
This looks a competitive race but AMERICAN BEAUTY is put forward as the selection. She is lightly raced enough to offer hope of improvement and has proved she can get her head in front. Peregrine Falcon should be looked at, the well drawn Chieftain's Shield has claims, and Unsolved Riddle may give the others plenty to think about.
