Verdict
Having showed more than enough to think a race of this nature is within reach already, NOBLER has also marked himself out as a candidate for headgear, so with the application of first-time blinkers potentially a good move, he can make it seventh time lucky back at this longer trip. Made U Blush and Dahoma rate next best.
