This is a low grade handicap complicated by the fact that Jim Goldie is responsible for half of the 16-strong field. Dual course winner Goninodaethat may be the pick of his octet with Jason Hart taking off 3lb but the market will be the best guide. The three-year-old BALTIC SPIRIT looked ready for a step up in distance when staying on late over 5f at Catterick four days ago. Providing that hasn't taken too much out of her, Keith Dalgleish's filly may be the one to beat. Diamond Blue will be better for her run at Thirsk and looks the pick of the remainder.
