Verdict
If earlier races went to plan, William Buick may well be looking at another winner in BALTIC BRAVE. The latter improved with every start last season and won't need to find much improvement on his third at Wolverhampton to come out best in this. Seven Lucky Seven has made the frame on the all-weather recently, but over longer trips, and Black Vale's win at Lingfield last month also came over a mile. Miss Brazil makes more appeal on her previous form but Flashy Queen looks the biggest danger on her close-up second here in September.
