Top-weight Baringo is improving with each start and may attempt to make all the running here. There's no better jockey from the front than Richard Hughes and there may be a danger here that Baringo gets an easy lead. This represents a drop in class for Desert Air who ran a good third at Ripon last time and has to be respected in this company. Norwood Origo has been a model of consistency this season in this type of company and another bold bid can be expected. The same can also be said of Mission To Mars while Aunt Hilda remains lightly-raced and could easily improve past most of her rivals.
