Verdict
Soft ground might present a new challenge for a few of these - Tigroney would be the exception, but she's hard to read at present - but assuming that Penny Jane handles it, she could be the one to be with. Connections are wasting little time with her over hurdles and the hint should be taken. Kalopsia has some iffy looking form figures but it masks the fact there's ability there and if jumping with a bit more fluency, can prove the danger.
