Verdict

It's hard to see past LISTEN AND LEARN who made the experienced Billy Twyford pull out the stops at Newton Abbot and can go one better. Handsome Buddy and Romany Quest have shown a little potential and the latter looks the main threat despite a long absence but My Lad Percy didn't do much on his debut at Ffos Las and may need more experience.
