10/3

3 wins from 9 runs this year. Evens, third of 5 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good) 29 days ago, well positioned. Back up in trip. Likely to get back on the up with a promising claimer back on board.

Baltic Baron^p¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: J Garritty| T: D Brooke| OR: 63

9/1

Remains a maiden after 25 Flat runs. Thirty one runs since last win in 2018. 25/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, never nearer. Chance if rediscovering old form.

Bramham¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 65

4/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 14 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Polyphonic (11/8), Fearless Bay (5/2), Flylikeaneagle (10/3), Bramham (4/1), Out Of Sight (11/2), Early Morning Dew (7/1), Baltic Baron (9/1), Raiff (33/1)

POLYPHONIC is in top form and can defy a penalty at the likely expense of Flylikeaneagle, who was running well prior to a blip at Ayr a month ago. Baltic Baron is another one to consider from a reduced mark.
