        Verdict

        It was soft ground when Maasai Mara won at Ascot earlier while Nader King scored on testing going at Nottingham and steps up in trip. Enochdhu is another winner on a soft surface when successful at Windsor while Krona landed a double on the all-weather back in February. Gozo ran well at Haydock on his handicap debut but BALTIC VOYAGE (NAP) faced a more difficult task at York on his reappearance and first start gelded and Ralph Beckett’s charge drops down in class for this.
