Verdict
VESPERTILIO competed solely at the highest level last season and might be able to come good again with her sights lowered on reappearance. Last year's winner Easy rates an obvious danger, while the returning King Cuan is another fascinating contender, with Billy Lee seemingly preferring him to stablemate Firebird
