        Verdict

        Ruwain can defy his six pound penalty in the finale at the expense of Thornaby Green and Rotuma. The selection scored at Great Leighs last time out and connections are keen to run him with a penalty rather than wait for the handicapper to reassess him. That was his first career win and we feel that there will be further improvement to come therefore he is worth staying o the right side of. Thornaby Green ran right back to his best when second of twelve at Yarmouth last time out. He won off a five pound higher mark this time last year so any market moves should be noted. Rotuma has yet to show his true colours this season and although he is nicely treated on his best form, for the time being he is best watched. So for the winner we return to Ruwain.
