11/2

Course winner. Latest win at Southwell in October. 11/1, bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 4 days ago. Step back up in trip should be in his favour and not discounted.

28/1

11/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good), needing stiffer test. Makes all-weather debut here following 15 months off and stamina to prove.

Forecasts

Ravenscar (15/8), Rukwa (16/5), Thawry (11/2), Nataleena (11/2), Ajman Prince (9/1), Bolder Bob (18/1), Karasheni (18/1), Magrevio (28/1)

RAVENSCAR admittedly got first run on her rivals when getting off the mark over C&D 3 weeks ago, but it was a pretty decisive display nonetheless and she should be capable of defying this 4 lb higher mark. Rukwa posted his best effort yet on the Flat here last time and he is next on the list ahead of Thawry.
