Verdict
Bunbury is upped a grade under a penalty after winning over a longer trip at Windsor. Alnasham also drops down in trip having finally won a handicap with a narrow-margin success at Salisbury but it could be the turn of BALTIC BRAVE (NAP) today. Hughie Morrison’s charge was less than a length behind Battlement over track and trip a week ago and can race off the same mark in this. He's My Boy was placed in a lower grade here a fortnight ago but is still preferred to recent Chelmsford third Steal The Scene.
