Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Baltic holds a clear edge on our figures over Prince Quattro and the rest of this modest Class 5 field, and the good-to-firm ground at Newmarket's July course over fourteen furlongs should suit a horse of his profile. Prince Quattro, four points behind on our ratings, is the most credible threat alongside Jack Langley and Dereham, but Baltic's superiority on merit gives him the edge if reproducing his best. **Baltic** is our selection.

Racing Post pick: Baltic
