Baltic Baron never figured on his hurdling debut here but is almost certainly capable of better. But Brian Ellison also runs recent acquisition SALSADA, who won three times on the Flat and achieved a rating of 94. She has a fillies’ allowance in this and should take advantage if her jumping is up to scratch. Bari Breeze and Storm Lorenzo have hurdling experience while Minella Plus has placed in a couple of bumpers and should be competitive representing a yard in red-hot form.
