Verdict
Rated 74, Ronnie Baird was expected to do better than sixth in a maiden race at Wolverhampton earlier in the month but should be sharper for this. Peggy Joyce has shown little in either start so far this year while Balmusette was well beaten in all three starts on the Flat last year and has been competing over hurdles recently. JORDAN JAMES had just the two starts last year and posted a better effort on his latest when sixth at Newcastle in a tougher maiden than this. Silvestre De Sousa takes over the reins and he could go close. Kings Gold and Steccando are both related to winners and are newcomers to note along with Tim Easterby's duo My Lucille and High On Light.
