Baltic King is difficult to oppose here and gets the TEAMtalk vote. Hugh Morrison's son of Danetime split Crimson Silk and Parkland (winner Monday) at Windsor last time and a reproduction of that effort should be good enough. James Fanshawe saddles two, Adventurist and Downtime, with slight preference for the latter on jockey bookings. Sir Michael Stoute's Hector's Girl is out of a half-sister to College Chapel and is a likely type on breeding. A market move for her would be interesting but, on this occasion, we take experience to win the day.
