        Verdict

        The consistent BA Highflyer has already shown that he has trained on into his three-year-old campaign and he is fancied to gain some just reward for his efforts today. The terms of the race do not make it easy for him though and he will need to be on his metal to get the better of Tally, Kings College Boy and Evangelist. However, Mick Channon has his string in good order at present and has a very good record with his raiders at Hamilton. BA Highflyer is well situated with regard to the draw and has a solid chance of making the most of a good opportunity from his current mark. Flying Edge is another to consider if supported but he still has a little to find with Tally on recent form and is best limited to an each way interest at best.
