    Verdict

    Bayan Kasirga is 7lb lower than his last winning rating but he's been running so poorly that he's difficult to side with. Maxie T completed a double in the spring and has shot up the weights as a consequence but Only Orsenfoolsies looked on the way back at York when runner-up to Saved By The Bell and should give the selection RUWASI a run for his money. The latter has gradually progressed and his recent victory over this trip at Catterick was gained on fast ground.
