Bond Boy is the selection here with Danger Over, Dazzling Bay and Sartorial the others worthy of serious consideration. Bond Boy is game and consistent, well drawn and will be suited by the easing ground, and although this is an open race, he could represent the value. Dazzling Bay has had a fantastic season and as a consequence has been steadily rising in the weights. He was disappointing last time, but is a course and distance winner and should go well although the low draw is a major concern here. Danger Over might represent a bigger danger. He was a beaten favourite in a listed race at Epsom last time but still ran well and was not given a hard race and is also well drawn here. Sartorial has good place claims, while Francis Flute goes well for today's pilot Paul Hanagan and could be interesting at a big price from a favourable draw. Celtic Mill is also well drawn, is a course and distance winner so can not be discounted. But Bond Boy and Danger Over are the two that stand out, and narrow preference is for the former, although Danger Over is worthy of a good deal of respect.
