Baltic King has shown more than enough to win a race of this nature and is the TEAMtalk choice to take full advantage of a significant drop in grade. Hughie Morrison's charge has shown a useful level of ability in maidens and has been allotted a BHB handicap mark of 87 so it will be disappointing if the son of Danetime cannot prevail. Hey Presto flopped last time but has place claims on his Folkestone second in similar company over this trip last month. Aegean Magic hinted at ability first time out but now has something to prove after a below-par effort next time so newcomer Polar Bear, who makes plenty of appeal on breeding, may pose a bigger threat and is worth noting in the market.
