Verdict

Byron Gala has returned a losing favourite on his last three starts now and Needless Shouting looks on a high enough mark at present. Manor Way will be fancied on his comeback but never looked like lasting home when attempting today's trip at Salisbury in October while Baltic Fire will need to step up on his latest third over track and trip in similar company. Si Senor and Cotton Club make their handicap debuts along with CONFITURE and the speculative vote goes to the latter on her close-up third over track and trip in December.
