Verdict

A winner at Kempton on his penultimate start, SANDY PARADISE again ran well despite an uncharacteristic tardy start when third back at that venue on Wednesday and he earns the vote with the return to 1m likely to be in his favour. Bond Boy is thriving himself and rates the lead threat, ahead of Super Den and Poetic Force.
