Baltic Bomber looks to have strong claims in this grade after a length defeat at Beverley on his latest start. Choc'A'Moca is another with a chance after finishing runner-up over 5f here on his last couple of outings and had Lord Buffhead back in third a week ago. Celestial Dawn and McMonagle have both tumbled down the weights and could figure along with Ryedane, who will have come on for his recent reappearance. DARTRIX is up another 6lb for winning at Hamilton three weeks ago but did so with a bit in hand and the top weight is worth sticking with in his current frame of mind.
