          Verdict

          A high draw proved to be a distinct advantage in races over the straight course at the last meeting here so it may pay to concentrate on those drawn on the far side with Baltic King getting the verdict over Smart Hostess and Viewforth. The selection was an impressive winner of a similar contest over course and distance last month and has an obvious chance off his new mark. Speed Cop (fourth), My American Beauty (sixth) and Connect (10th) are all held on running that day and a bigger threat may come from John Quinn's Smart Hostess, who has shown improved form since dropped to sprint distances in her last two starts. However, this is tougher and she may now be in the grip of the handicapper. A low draw is a negative as well and better berthed are Salviati and Viewforth. The former finished second behind the selection here last time and has to be respected on 7lb better terms today from stall 20, while Viewforth (stall 14) ran well despite the softening ground at Haydock last time and has the assistance of Kieren Fallon in the saddle. However, Baltic King is in great heart at present and is difficult to oppose from his favourable draw.
