In depth

Verdict

The application of cheekpieces brought plenty of improvement from RIEVAULX RAVER (NAP), who made all at Ripon last time when returning a convincing winner. He’s penalised for that success but there should be more come in the headgear. Farhhfromforgotten is a likely improver along with Coverdale, who failed to get a clear run at Haydock, while both Nights Over Egypt and Perfect Play disappointed last time having shown promise earlier.
