Maiden winner Unforgiving Minute has plenty to prove in this company but the remainder are closely matched on today's terms. Krypton Factor was last seen at the track back in March and Diescentric ran well below his best on his reappearance back in July. The drop back to 7f may see Baltic Knight finish closer but MORACHE MUSIC (NAP) arrives in the best form having won a decent handicap at Doncaster last time. Peter Makin's charge should have enough to hold off the attentions of Dutch Rose and gets the vote.
