      Verdict

      Newnham gets the call ahead of Antrim and Sri Lipis. Newnham has the best form on offer and, really, will rarely get a better chance to earn some winning brackets. Richard Fahey's Antrim, a debuting son of Giant's Causeway is very interesting, while the best of Sri Lipis's form to date puts him in with at least a chance of making the frame. On balance, the others of those to have run need to find something more than they have so far shown in order to score, if you see what I mean which, in turn, returns us to the selection, which is Newnham.
