Verdict

A case can be made for several of these but Tony Carroll's CINDY LOU WHO bagged four wins in a fine 2025 and looks ahead of her mark back in handicap company after an excellent reappearance second in a Bath listed event. Addison Grey appeals as a likely improver for Clive Cox this season and is next on the list, although a good case can also be made for Wheels Of Fire, Lakers and Juan Les Pins in this cracking sprint.
