        Verdict

        Obe One, Viewforth and Beverley Beau are the three for the shortlist here and Obe One is taken to lead them home. Viewforth scored here last summer but hasn¿t won since and consequently has dropped down the handicap. A second last time at Ayr, he belied his starting price of 20-1, leading until near the finish. He looks set to go close. Beverley Beau lost his maiden tag in a claimer at Hamilton two outings ago but although beaten only two lengths in a handicap since, he is taken on here. Obe One hasn¿t won for three years but this looks a good opportunity for him. He has finished in the runner up spot in his last two starts at Hamilton and Catterick, and although the latter race was only three days ago, he can go one better here. Obe One is the one.
