Verdict
Bullet Tooth Tony is capable of running into at least a place while some of the newcomers have decent credentials, notably Royal Eagle and Gimme One Nite. But HEY JACK YOUR LATE is strongly fancied to come out on top. He made an encouraging debut and the benefit of experience may give him an edge over some of these.
