        Verdict

        Bossy Missy is preferred to Davidia and Cnocan Aiobhinn. Although not totally proven under these conditions, Bossy Missy couldn't have been found a worse race to try and get off the mark in and this selection is made on the basic premise that the others don't look to be particularly special. Davidia was a regressive sort for Sylvester Kirk on the flat but Alison Thorpe has made a habit of regenerating others' castoffs. Cnocan Aiobhinn is related to Shuil Ar Aghaidh and could literally be anything. Phantoms Lair did not set the world alight on debut and has more to do. Riteway Round has to be considered if attracting any market support. A poor race that can go the way of Bossy Missy.
