Verdict

A trappy staying contest on paper in which it may be worth taking a chance on BALTIC, who ended his time with Harry Charlton last summer out of sorts, but the handicapper has given him a chance on his first attempt at the trip. Things has clicked for Filibustering since the tongue tie has been applied so she heads up the dangers returned to the level. Gooloogong and Now The Eagle met last time and they do battle for minor honours here.

7	Fairly useful Flat performer for Tim Easterby in 2024 who has turned things around since fitted with a tongue strap over hurdles, supplementing his Newcastle win in April when taking 6-runner event at Hexham (2m, good) last month.

8	Gambled on returned to the Flat and showed his best form for a few seasons when winning 8-runner event over C&D just over 3 weeks ago by 2¾ lengths from Now The Eagle, leading over 1f out. Handicapper has reacted with a 5 lb rise but can feature again. 3rd Pick 8 Gooloogong (Ire) Jockey: Neil Callan Trainer: George Baker J: Neil Callan T: George Baker	94	-	-	-	17%
