        Verdict

        Cuban Missile and Celtic Dragon have similar claims here and we will give the vote to the first named, Prairie Storm could be the best of the others. Roger Charlton's gelding, a well bred son of Danehill Dancer, put in a very promising first effort at Leicester behind Mountain Pride. He was a little green during the middle part of the contest and should come on a bundle. Amanda Perrett's Celtic Dragon was just touched off by Ragamuffin Man at Bath last month. It wasn't the strongest of maidens but he is open to improvement and should be thereabouts. Prairie Storm wasn't given a hard time on his debut and is another that should be capable of progression. The best of the newcomers may be the Sir Michael Stoute trained French Riviera, but on this occasion we will go with experience and select Cuban Missile.
