    Verdict

    BALLISTA won a seller back in May but judged on his latest length defeat at Chester he's capable of winning a handicap at this level. Tom Dascombe's charge gets the nod as both Frequency and Roninski remain high enough in the weights and Sabratha's recent placed efforts have been in lesser company. Emeralds Spirit is also upped in class but arrives in good form after finishing third over C&D last time. The Osteopath is a rare winner nowadays but looks best of the remainder.
