In depth
Verdict
Officer In Command is the only course and distance winner in the line-up but arrives out of form though he's dropped to a lowly mark as a consequence. Bold Ring has won over 7f here but is more at home over this trip, especially at Lingfield, but the vote goes to the three-year-old BALTIC FIRE. Karl Burke's charge is still a maiden after 17 starts but has been placed in his only two runs on this track and it's about time he gained his first success. Salisbury winner Eugenic ran his best race on Polytrack here last time and should be in the mix while Honey Meadow is 7lb lower than her latest success at Wolverhampton.
