Verdict
COURTLAND KING has useful form over this trip so it's a bit of a surprise to see him in a seller. David Evans' Baltic King colt should gain that elusive first win against this opposition, the best of which may be Ave Sofia who was fifth in a decent Ripon maiden on debut before disappointing over 6f here next time. Very First Blade beat Roy's Legacy in a Southwell seller nine days ago but neither make much appeal back on turf and possibly lack the scope of Flirty Gerty.
