Verdict
Baltiman makes his flat debut and has a fair degree of ability over obstacles so needs considering in a poor race. Cloudesley has strong placed form in the book from his time with Andrew Balding and should improve for his first outing of the year last time. Odin's Raven was asked to do too much last time and looks worth a try at the trip while L'Amour Toujours was staying on last time and is relatively unexposed. Preference though is for Jim Bolger's MYRINE who was blocked in her run when weakening on debut and should improve for that experience. The master-handler saddled a double on Saturday so everything looks in place for a huge run.
