      Verdict

      Sawwaah can win again at the expense of Bailieborough and Baby Barry. The selection was seen to good effect at both Redcar and Mussleburgh this season and is only running off a five pound higher mark for his latest win last time out. He must therefore hold every chance of following up here. His biggest rival will be Bailieborough who finished second at York last time out and in the process caught the eye. Another effort like that will see him go close. Baby Barry was in winning action at Hamilton last time out and is now only four pounds higher in the weights so has to hold every chance to win again so any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to Sawwaah.
