        Verdict

        STAR STRIDER won very easily on his last start and can follow up for Gay Kelleway and Hayley Turner. He tended to travel extremely well through that contest and is evidently a horse in fine form while the yard do well with the horses they turn out quickly. Princely Hero was a smart handicapper for Dermet Weld in Ireland and made a winning debut for Marco Botti on his last start. This is not as strong a heat as those he has contested in the past while market support for him should be noted. Just Bond bids for his ninth course victory and is closely weighted with Follow The Flag on their last clash where Just Bond was behind Alan McCabe's charge. Jawaab and Premier Danseur need to find something to score and the pick is Star Strider.
