Verdict

BULLET TOOTH TONY is hard to look beyond. He can be expected to find big improvement on this second outing. Rabdan looks a decent option while Maximum Effort and Viva Asterix are bred for the job in hand, and some of the newcomers have decent credentials, notably Maximum Effort and Viva Asterix.
