Verdict

The winner should come from one of Condoleeza, Stolen Hours, Land 'n Stars and Straw Boat, with our vote going to Straw Boss. The selection should improve considerably for his all-weather debut third over 12 furlongs. This trip should present no problems as he by sire-of-the-moment Darshaan, and he ought to go well. Stolen Hours is stepping up half-a-mile in trip today after finishing a staying-on fourth to Lunar Colony at Windsor six days ago, and he too is entitled to be improving. Condoleeza looks nothing out of the ordinary, but again should bag some money. She is closely weighted with Land 'n Stars on a line through Glencoyle. Overall, though, we'll opt for Straw Boss.
