A case can be made for a few of these but Roger Varian's improving FONDO BLANCO starts life in handicaps on a good mark so looks the way to go. Arabian Leopard also has better days ahead of her and heads the list of dangers, with recent scorers We Dare To Dream and Art Market both well in the mix too.
