Poppy Bridgewater partnered Baltic Prince when the latter won over 6f here back in April and Deeds Not Words landed a double over the same distance at Yarmouth last month but was due to run at the latter track yesterday. Both Archie and Maazel are looking to end long losing runs but look no nearer to doing so and the vote goes to the unexposed MOTAJAASID making his handicap debut after placing at Chepstow with Nicola Currie taking 3lb off his back.
