We said9th of 12, beaten 41¼ at 7/2
BALTIC 13/2
BALTIC at 13/2, Lucy Wadham and Tom Cannon, just about gets the nod. He was staying on at the finish last time and should be suited by the ground, placed once from 4 on it.
The one worry is long time without a win.
The dangers are C'EST POUR MOI at 100/1 (in first-time headgear) and SAVANNA STORM at 50/1 (in first-time headgear).
