    Verdict

    SIBAAQ will likely prove a warm order despite carrying a penalty as Mark Johnston’s colt is due to be raised 11lb by the handicapper. He beat a previous winner when scoring by a wide-margin at Beverley recently and is taken to reverse earlier form in novice company at Redcar with the winner London Palladium. The latter steps up in trip today while Rommel drops in class having failed to land a blow in Class 2 company over track and trip. Babajan is preferred to the more exposed Wholelotafun of the remaining pair.
