        Verdict

        CALEDONIA LAIRD is penalised for scoring over track and trip last week. But the runner-up has already franked the form with a subsequent win and Jo Hughes' charge is taken to confirm latest running with Hawk Moth. The latter had earlier finished ahead of Moonbi Creek when runner-up here and should go well again while the veteran and prolific course and distance winner Smalljohn is back on a winning mark and is another to consider. Cadeaux Pearl is another on a decent mark but usually saves his best for Southwell nowadays.
