Rated 

Orvar   407

Blue de Vega  404 

Holneswood   400

These 3 are clear Of rest ....difficult to know how to tackle ....holneswood is improving and drawn in centre with de sousa on board ....so has to run well ....but top two are drawn far rail next to each other so can act as pacemakers for each other and have the advantage of guide rail ......big prices too ....was gonna go ew top 2 only but lots of money for holmeswood so need to include
