Verdict
Tim Vaughan has found another good opportunity for PENYFAN DAWN to get on top and he should take all the beating as he is easily the best horse here. Supernoverre looks the only potential fly in the ointment at the ratings but he has been well held on his last two efforts in this sphere. Aah Haa was ordinary on the level so is probably best watched on his timber bow while Paddy Brennan looks a strong jockey booking on Shamrogine but again she'll have to step up on her recent form to beat Penyfan Dawn.
