Firmdecisions returned to form with a seven length victory over track and trip but has an 11lb hike to contend with. Baltic Brave has been raised further in the weights for finishing second at Lingfield and is now 8lb higher than last year's win over course and distance while Ganymede arrives in fine form after landing a double at Brighton but is upped in class today. Saigon City should go well on the back of a second at Ascot but BRIGLIADORO (NAP) makes most appeal. He was not beaten far in a higher grade handicap at Kempton last time and Tom Marquand's allowance increases the chances of him landing his first win on Turf.
