This looks between RIVER KING and Competizione, both of whom pulled well clear of the rest when finding just one too good at Nottingham and Doncaster respectively earlier this month. Choosing between them is not at all easy, with River King shading preference. Newcomer Mawood is appealing on paper and it'll be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting.
