        Verdict

        True Night edges the vote over his stablemate Sawwaah, while Mystic Man and Dark Charm are also expected to throw down strong challenges. Dark Charm got the better of Sawwaah at Hamilton 10 days ago and is respected on that form. However, he has a stiffer test at the weights today and needs to pull something out of the hat. Mystic Man is also up against it on these terms and, although he is reliable in this grade, he is opposable on the balance of recent form. Sawwaah is likely to provide the selection with more of a test than his other stablemate, Wistman, who was a major let down on his first start for David Nicholls earlier in the season. Even so, we turn to True Night, who drops into this grade for the first time in a year. True Night has held his own in much better company in recent weeks and is very much fancied to relish the ease in grade this afternoon.
