ROARING RALPH has been shaping well in recent weeks with a pair of runner-up finishes at this course and he looks capable of going one better. Amarachi is in good form herself with successive placed efforts at this C&D and can make her presence felt again, while it'll be interesting to see what the betting makes of the Tony Carroll trio.
