Rated 83, Raven's Corner is making hard work of losing his maiden tag and it may be worth taking him on with HILLDALE in this. Michael Dods’ filly was beaten five lengths by Delve, rated 87, over track and trip on her recent debut and a literal interpretation of the form suggests she can make a race of it on these terms. Wonderful Life was behind the selection here last time so the Godolphin newcomer and half-brother to a Group 3 winner, Aldrin, may prove a bigger threat while Zwayyan can only improve on the back of an inauspicious debut at Newmarket.
