        Verdict

        Bond Puccini could be the answer to this tricky contest and this gelding from the Bryan Smart yard is given the vote with Howards Princess and Pedlar of Dreams rated as the main dangers. The selection showed an improved level of form to finish second behind Oceanico Dot Com at Ripon last time, and if he can improve again then he could be the one to beat. Howards Princess rates the main danger as she has shown plenty of promise on her three starts to date. She ran well when second behind the well-bred Cyclical last time and if she can reproduce that effort here she will not be far away. Pedlar of Dreams finished narrowly Howards Princess on her racecourse bow and as she is sure to improve for that run she may be capable of reversing that form. This is a fascinating little contest with some nice types in opposition, but we will give the narrow vote to Bond Puccini.
