        Verdict

        This should concern those at the top of the weights, with preference for Ballyhurry over Burnley Al, Sawwaah and Desert Lightning. Ballyhurry obviously likes it round here, having won five times during his career, and on latest evidence there could be another success in the offing from Jim Goldie's charge. The nine-year-old has won in much better company in the past, and although only third behind Burnley Al in the claimer won by Fremen here six days ago, he can meet Richard Fahey's challenger on 7lb better terms for the three-lengths that separated them, and that should be more than enough for him to turn the tables. Sawwaah cannot be ruled out either, but he does tend to come late and will need the race to pan out for him, while Desert Lightning was only beaten a short-head in a similar race here the time before last so cannot be ruled out entirely, and nor can Son Of Thunder with his stable in good form. However, having weighed up the prospects of the leading contenders, we return to Ballyhurry as the answer.
