Verdict

Ravi Road has been in the mix over 7f recently and should be involved once again but THREE DONS has placed over today’s trip the last twice including here. He’ll have come on for last month’s outing and can score off his current mark. The rest are harder to recommend though Smarden Flyer may improve on his second start after wind surgery and Hold The Press and Free Step sport blinkers for the first time.
