        Verdict

        Plenty of these are regular visitors including The Nifty Fox, who scored over track and trip last time but had finished behind RED BARON at this track only a day earlier. The latter is taken to confirm running and go in again ahead of recent Pontefract winner Haajes, who was due to run in a seller at Hamilton last night. Recent course and distance winner Pavers Star appears to have a bit to prove in this grade while Crimson Knot has plenty to find with The Nifty Fox on earlier running here. But Rothesay Dancer scored in similar company at this track at the start of the month and has been competing in better company since.
