      Verdict

      BAITHA ALGA will no doubt start a short price for this. He found only Winslow too good at Haydock on last week's debut and looks to have a much easier task in this company. Popeswood didn't show much improvement from his debut when fourth at Salisbury last time but Billy Slater lost all chance when missing the break over 5f here earlier in the month and should finish closer if cleanly away. Cymro is related to three winners and preferred to Anonymous John of the newcomers.
