Verdict
Most of these arrive with a question mark against them so it could pay to side with BRANDENBURG who had the worst of the draw when well held in a York nursery on his debut for Ann Duffield and had won twice prior to that. The First Drop is weighted to go well if a switch to nursery company sparks a resurgence and is next on the list ahead of Redcar scorer Rock Steady Beat.
