      Verdict

      Striving Storm gets a big shout here and is selected ahead of Sunley Peace and Love On The Rocks. Striving Storm stands out here, not least based on his third to the very useful Thousand Words on his debut. He is the one to beat. Sunley Peace certainly catches the eye on breeding, while although cheaply acquired, Mark Johnston's Twilight Dawn has to be of some interest. Finally, Love On The Rocks will appreciate the stamina test today but, overall, others are preferred, chief among these very much being Striving Storm.
