      Verdict

      Spinning could be vulnerable under his penalty here and he is taken on with Baan nominated over Obe Royal. The selection has not won since 2005 but he went close last time when a close third behind Cinematic and he looks worth another chance. Spinning has been in cracking form of late but he was fourth behind Ansell's Pride at Musselburgh last time and he has gone up 12lbs in the weights. Obe Royal has yet to win a race but he has shown some solid placed form and it would be no surprise to see him take home some place money again. Swift Cut has a good draw and could prove best of the others, but this looks a good opportunity for Baan who is given another chance to score.
