        Verdict

        Sawwaah can land this lowly contest at the expense of Prince Tum Tum, with Yenaled another that can figure in proceedings. Although Sawwaah is a shadow of his former self, having last been successful in a Newbury handicap in August 2004, his recent efforts have been most encouraging in the context of this race and he can put one over on the likely favourite Prince Tum Tum. Dandy Nicholls' charge has just failed to get up on each of his last two starts at Hamilton, and with no stamina doubts, he should be bang in at the finish. In contrast, Prince Tum Tum has only ever tried nine furlongs twice during his career and has flopped on both occasions, so despite the fact that he is head and shoulders above the rest from a ratings point of view, there is enough doubt to consider taking him on. Yenaled won this race last year when with Kevin Ryan and reverts to this trip again after struggling behind Far Pavilions at Catterick. He could make things interesting, but we shall take a chance with Sawwaah.
