11/4 and hooded for 1st time, improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner minor event over C&D 7 days ago. Well on top at the finish so big shout under a penalty with headgear again sported.

Forecasts

Raft Up (7/2), Arlington (4/1), Wild Mountain (13/2), Athollblair Boy (15/2), Doon The Glen (17/2), Korroor (10/1), She'sashambles (10/1), Midnightattheoasis (12/1), Hurstwood (16/1), Cubanista (20/1), Cuan (25/1)

Verdict

RAFT UP took a step forward in a first-time hood with an emphatic C&D success last week and is fancied to defy a 5 lb penalty with the headgear again fitted here. In-form C&D scorer Arlington appeals as the one to chase home Harriet Bethell's 4-y-o ahead of Midnightattheoasis and Athollblair Boy.
