        Verdict

        Caballero disappointed here last time but looked to have a chance in the 5.20 at Hamilton yesterday. Sophiesticate got off the mark when dead-heating over 1m2f at Ayr where she only just hung on and has never been this trip. Red Bond has never won on Turf and was well beaten when runner-up here last time so the vote goes to WILL HE DANCE (NAP). An easy winner over the track and trip last month, he pulled much too hard at Thirsk next time and can return to winning ways.
