This will not take much winning, but finding a reliable betting medium is still extremely difficult. RAVENHOE appeared to be turning the corner last time and has proven himself a good mount for an inexperienced rider in the past. He remains winless on AW surfaces but he has not contested a race as bad as this before. Bloodsweatandtears is hard to win with and is another who is yet to win an AW contest. However, he has run some good races around here against better opposition and it would be no surprise to see him go close. Flying Sakhee shaped well last time in another weak race where she was suited by the strong pace. There is no promise of a similar gallop, but she will get few easier opportunities to open her account.
