Racing Post verdict
Third-partyDion Baker has landed back-to-back wins, most recently taking a classified event at Bath in dominant style with cheekpieces that have clearly reinvigorated the form; course-and-distance experience is in place and the mark remains competitive. Havana Mojito went close here last time in blinkers and is the biggest threat, while Prefer The Sister produced a solid second at Yarmouth and has more to offer. Dion Baker is our selection.
