        Verdict

        Beauteous and Ballyhurry come into this in good form and have to be respected but Ajwaa looks a progressive performer, having won readily at Yarmouth last time, and is strongly fancied to defy his penalty. John O'Shea's five-year-old has won both of his outings this term with something in hand and there is no reason to suggest that he cannot complete a hat-trick today. Beauteous lost no caste in defeat behind a back-to-form Uhoomagoo at Ayr last time and has to be respected off a 2lb lower mark here. He rates a bigger danger than Ballyhurry, who looks in the handicapper's grip following his latest outing when behind Alan Berry's horse. Top weight What-A-Dancer and Bailieborough, from the stable of David Nicholls are others to consider but it will be a surprise if anything can beat Ajwaa, who gets the vote to win again.
