11/2

Recorded a second career success when winning over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton earlier this month. Has to defy a 5lb rise for that victory if he's to take this contest.

Forecasts

Narjes (3/1), Baltic Prince (7/2), Buzz Lightyere (5/1), Baashiq (11/2), Barrsbrook (11/2), Solveig's Song (12/1), Good Luck Charm (14/1), Triple First (16/1), The Lords Walk (16/1), Holdenhurst (50/1)

BALTIC PRINCE can put a disappointing soft ground effort behind him by taking this 1m handicap. The selection ran well on good ground here on his penultimate start and with similar conditions forecast he can take this with Solveig's Songcapable of finishing second having chased an in form rival home here last time. Third place can go to Narjes who took a C&D handicap last month.
