      Verdict

      ORKNEY is taken to land the hat-trick at the main expense of Benedict Spirit and General Tufto. Julie Camacho's 4-year-old has won his last two races over this course and distance. He was all-out to beat Mr Aitch last time but he is unexposed and after a short break he can complete the hat-trick. General Tufto is another that arrives here in good form but he only won here on Thursday and there is a worry that this race might come too soon. Benedict Spirit carried 3lb overweight here last time but he was well beaten by Swiss Act. However, he does have a good record on the fibresand and shouldn't be discounted lightly. Wabbraan and Just Observing look the best of the others but we will stick with Orkney to continue his hot streak.
