Verdict

Bond Boy has been burning up the gallops waiting to run and providing that he handles the fast ground, will be in the shake-up, with Smart Predator, Speed Cop and Henry Hall others for the short-list. Last year's Stewards' Cup hero, Bond Boy was returning from a near three-month break when just held by Tom Tun at Hamilton recently. He looked on the big side than but has been extensively worked at Hambleton House and is reported in magnificent shape by Bryan Smart. The only thing that stops him being a good thing is the fast ground, but conditions were similar when he took the Stewards' Cup, so he gets the nod under Frankie Dettori. Speed Cop ran a blinder to dead-heat with Halmahera at Ascot last week but on a line through the latter, has it to do with the selection. Smart Predator is in and out, but when he is in has a good finishing burst. The rest look nothing special, although Fruit of Glory has place claims. Take the best price you can about Bond Boy as he is sure to be well supported to get back to winning ways.
