      Verdict

      BALLYGOWN BAY looks the pick of those with experience. He is the highest rated and reverts to maiden company having competed in handicaps over the last 12 months. Thre is still stamina to prove over this trip but he is rated 4lb higher than Hattaab, who nevertheless looks the main threat. Jonnigraig had bits and pieces of form in Ireland but hasn't shown much for new connections while Weekly Gossip has been well beaten in all starts.
