        Verdict

        Bailieborough and Sarraaf come out by far the best of these on official ratings and we fancy them to have things between them, with our vote going to Bailieborough.. In a nutshell, the selection is just one pound worse off for the four lengths he finished ahead of Sarraaf when the pair met at Musselburgh at the end of July. Much as Sarraaf is a lot better than that at his best, you cannot always rely upon him to show it and Bailieborough might prove the more reliable option. The others look a modest lot, with Vijay, Zahunda and Compassion looking the best of them. Once again, though, the vote goes to Bailieborough.
