      Verdict

      Hughie Morrison places his horses shrewdly and RAVENS ARK (NAP) can prove the point by following up last month's Brighton win, which was a first success on Turf for the son of Raven's Pass on a second start after a gelding operation. Monsaraz has had a fine time of things since joining David Loughnane but has a first outing since wind surgery. His three wins came on the all-weather but he's a threat if equally effective on this surface. Recent hurdling winner Zuba and Global Art are not discounted while By Starlight remains unexposed.
