Verdict

BALTIC BIRD ran a screamer on the level here earlier in the week and gets the vote given his good form over hurdles previously. Building Bridges and Teed Up, who should bounce back from a surprisingly tame run here on Monday, are among the many dangers in a red-hot handicap.

  1. BALTIC BIRD
  2. BUILDING BRIDGES
  3. TEED UP (IRE)
