Has run well on both starts for new yard, and followed up a solid second at Wetherby with a fairly effortless win at Sedgefield last time. Has ground and trip to suit again, and may well have more to offer.
Fell out of love with the Flat towards the end of last year and refused to race twice. Has raced too freely on both hurdles starts to date so hasn't been able to show much, and this simply looks too hard for him.

9/1
Signs of ability for Kim Bailey when well beaten in two novice hurdles (against some classy opposition) but not seen out for over a year, and despite yard's current good form, will probably need this. Will be of interest for the future.
Some promise in a bumper at Southwell in January but jumped dreadfully on hurdling debut here last month and will need to find some fluency before being seriously considered.

Lightly raced for one his age and had looked very moderate before showing a bit more at Kelso last time, not disgraced in finishing fifth to Champagne City. Needs to improve a lot on that to get involved though, and may find others stronger.
Classy sprinter for Richard Fahey at his best but not seen out for two years until reappearing at Wolverhampton in March, showing little. Must be stamina doubts on first run for new yard, and can only be watched on hurdles debut today.

Related to useful Flat types and this sort of test should suit, but hurdles debut today and although not disgraced on the Flat at Chepstow recently, yard are very quiet and he's best watched.

25/1
Has beaten the grand total of one horse in five starts to date, and is already on his third trainer. In good hands makes little appeal on hurdling debut here.
Good looking horse that simply ran too green on debut at Southwell to do himself justice, but showed that form all wrong at Huntingdon last time out when staying on nicely in the closing stages to finish a close fifth. Likely to improve on that and should be a player here if doing so.

Has shown next to nothing on four starts so far, two bumpers and two hurdles, and although there's time for her to improve, she'll need to. Others readily preferred.

Forecasts

Ravens Hill (1/1), Aldrin (4/1), Not At All (7/1), Kalanisi Glen (9/1), Parwich Lees (12/1), Steve Prescott (12/1), Gang Warfare (14/1), Sir Tommy (25/1), Mcelligott (25/1), Papagayo (25/1), Free One (33/1), Iris's Promise (66/1)

Verdict

Ravens Hill sets the standard on his Sedgefield win but it's not unsurpassable, and with the penalty to carry as well, may find NOT AT ALL improving past him tonight. This good-looking son of Martaline simply didn't perform on debut but stepped up considerably on that at Huntingdon and another step forward from that sees him go close here. There's plenty in here that will do well once going handicapping, and Kalanisi Glen may be the best of them tonight.
