      Verdict

      SAVED MY BACON won last year’s renewal and has scored twice at Southwell since then including her latest start. Last year’s winning partner Silvestre De Sousa is back on board and she gets the nod. Fine 'n Dandy has been thereabouts on the Fibresand of late but his earlier win came in Class 6 company while City Of Angkor Wat may also struggle in this grade. Flicka's Boy has slipped back down the weights and went close at Musselburgh last week while Shackled N Drawn was beaten less than a length here back in August, despite only finishing fifth.
