Verdict
Baltimore Boy won over a shorter trip at Newcastle and is penalised along with BORDER EDGE. The Godolphin colt returned an impressive winner at Nottingham in June when beating a subsequent winner from the Gosdens’ yard. The latter run A E Housman, who showed a modicum of improvement at Newmarket last time with Frankie taking over the reins today while Al Agaila and Caph Star filled the places at Ffos Las though the latter was making his racecourse debut and is fancied to reverse running in this.
